It's Opposite Day... or is it?
The special live-streamed Twitch tournament for PokerStars Ambassadors has had quite possibly the strangest hand in poker between Team Pros Jake Cody and Fatima Moreira de Melo.
The important thing to know before you read this hand history is that host Joe Stapleton had decided that for the last 12 minutes of the level the worst hand at showdown was going to win the pot.
For this reason, Ben Spragg raised to 10,000 with 
from under the gun and Jake Cody three-bet to 30,000 with 
. Fatima Moreira de Melo called with 
in the hijack and Spragg folded.
A strange assortment of hands saw a flop of 
and it was at this point that Stapleton stepped back to the table.
"We said it was going to be 'worst hand wins' until the end of the level," said Stapleton, "And...the level just ran out." There was discussion around the table and it was agreed that from now on it was back to the normal hold'em rules.
Cody bet 20,000 and Moreira de Melo called. The turn was the 
and both players checked. The river was the 
and Cody moved all in for 119,900, covering the 114,100 of his fellow Team Pro.
In one of the weirdest river decisions in the history of poker, Moreira de Melo tanked and contemplated calling with five-high.
"He three-bet preflop," said Moreira De Melo, "I'm thinking he might have deuce-three. That's the only hand I beat. What would he three-bet pre?"
She continued to tank, getting to her feet as she thought. "It just feels like I should call. It's that delicious feeling where you feel like you just want to."
After a few moments more: "Fuck it," she said before calling. Cody showing his pair of sevens. "Too bad," said Moreira de Melo who was eliminated, "It was fun though."
"That was very fun," said Stapleton.
"If you had been right, it would have been the coolest thing ever," remarked Liv Boeree as Moreira de Melo exited the Twitch tournament and headed back to the Main Event.
