Wilful Buoy

Saar Wilf has just doubled up (albeit only to about 45k) courtesy of a strange hand and a pure bluff which went wrong on the river...

The board was standing {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades} and a pot of around 10,000 had already formed heads up. Wilf led out for 6k and faced an all-in move from a gent who has to be identified at this minute (pre full list) as Shamrock Headphones. This threw Wilf offbalance and deep into the tank. It was all-in for him to call and he talked to himself about it.

"I don't think King-Queen is good here. You have Kings? You always have Kings."

He paused to reposition himself kneeling on a chair.

"Sorry guys, gonna take a minute." A minute was all it took, as he eventually made the call. Not turning over K-Q exactly, he showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} which would have indeed also lost to a set of Kings but received an instant muck from his opponent instead.

There was a pause while the dealer insisted that Shamrock Headphones show his losing hand, as it was an all-in situation. Urged gently to comply by John Juanda, he showed {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} as reluctantly as a cat heading for the carrier.
