Philipp Wenzelburger: K♠2♠

Philipp Wenzelburger: 2♣2♥ All in
Rania Nasreddine: A♥K♥

"Deuces never lose," Nasreddine said.

"Now I will lose, I know," Wenzelburger replied. The flop came 2♦3♦6♦ and Wenzelburger hit a set to take a big lead in the hand.

"Diamond for a chop," Nasreddine said after the 7♦ turn, but the river was the 2♠ and Wenzelburger hit quads to double up.

"If I'm going to lose to twos, I want it to be quads," Nasreddine said as she paid off the all in.
