Event 10: A Wish Come True

Sometimes in poker, the pots just play themselves. The cards collude and conspire to create collisions, while the players holding them simply stand by and bear witness.

Greg Wish recently let the deck lead the way, after he woke up with {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} against two all-in players holding premium hands. Facing off with {Q-Hearts}{q-Spades} and {A-Spades}{k-Spades}, Wish was able to triple through and build his stack up above the 1.9 million mark.

The pot could have been much bigger, however, as World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner Steve Gill swears to high heaven he folded {k-}{k-}. We have no reason for disbelief when it comes to Gill's account of the events, as everybody who plays the game has seen hands go down were the chips seemed destined to go in.
