Well Mettler

We arrived at the table to see Patrick Mettler all in with {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} against Julian Thew's {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} and pulling a face. As the board was dealt out, Thew explained to us that Joe Ruddy had folded {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}, which meant that he was drawing incredibly thin, and, by the by, Charlie Ciresi had folded pocket tens. No Thew-favoring miracle materialized, and Mettler duly doubled up.

Board: {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
