"Nice Hand, Caballero"

We joined a pot in progress on the turn with the board reading {4-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}. Norbert Ludges eyed up the stack of his lone opponent, Jose Agustin for a minute or two. Finally, he fired out a sloppy bet as the chips tumbled into the middle of the table. It was enough to cover Agustin, and he made the call all in for his last 28,700.

Showdown
Agustin: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} (aces up)
Ludges: {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts} (open-ended straight draw)

Sure enough, the {6-Hearts} binked right on the river, drawing a too-happy, "Wowaaaa!" from Ludges. He grinned widely as the chips were pushed in his direction, and Agustin quietly made his way toward the exit, offering a token, "Nice hand, caballero," on his way out.
