Beneath the Felt Lies Wood

On a board showing {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}, Risto Ailamo moved the remaining of his chips into the middle holding {A-Spades}{5-Spades}. Jean Claude Perrot of France made the call tabling {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a flush and when he saw that he had the best hand, he celebrated by shouting, "Yeah, man! Yeah, man! Yeah, man! Yeah, man!"

For whatever reason, he then proceeded to punch the poker table - literally - and this was no love tap; he made solid contact.

Holding the throbbing hand to his face, he confessed to the crowd, "I think I hurt my hand." Minutes later a woman appeared with an icepack and some sort of pain reliever. Perrot, despite winning the hand and potentially losing another, now has ~120,000 in chips.
