Guiglini v. Sousa

We picked up a pot in progress as the dealer ran out a flop of {2-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts}. Winamax pro Aurelien Guiglini was first to act, and he led out with a bet of 600. He only had to beat Ricardo Sousa, but the Portuguese pro quickly made the call. The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and a check from both players, and the {Q-Diamonds} hit the river. After another check from Guiglini, Sousa flicked a red chip into the pot for a bet of 1,000. Guiglini called, and Sousa tabled {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades}. "The nuts?" he asked, certain his hand was good. It was; Guiglini picked his cards up off the table, stared at them, and returned them to the muck.

"Bet you didn't expect to see that," someone at the table said.

"No, I expected that," said Guiglini. "I played with him before."
