He's everywhere he's needed

Two players at Joe Hachem's table found themselves all in after a {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

flop. One held {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

for top pair, the other held {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

for a flush draw. And a straight draw (actually a straight-flush draw), as the sharp-eyed among you probably also noticed.

But the player with the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

apparently was bedazzled by his diamonds, because after the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

turned (giving him the straight) and the {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

fell on the river he stood up, rapped the table, and started pushing his chips toward the dealer. He'd actually turned away from the table before Hachem pulled out his earbuds and took the guy's wrist. The player turned around and Hachem explained that, yes, he'd won the hand. He grinned from ear to ear as he stacked his surprise winnings, while the loser had to console himself with a masseuse kneading his shoulders.
