Pied Piper of Gambling

Michael Piper, UK circuit player and possessor of an awesome moustache, called us over to tell us how he doubled up in curious, possibly hilarious circumstances.

Harrison Kaczka raised to 5,200 in early position and Piper shoved for 48,000. After a little while Kaczka called. Piper, in his words, "snap-turned-over" {7-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} while Kaczka was holding an also lacklustre but ahead {K-?} {10-?}. The flop came {10-?} {5-?} {6-?} with one diamond on it, putting Kaczka firmly in the lead - but following a {4-Diamonds} turn and a {Q-Diamonds} river, Piper's backdoor flush was good enough to double him up to 90,000.

In the parlance, LOL.
