Hit and Run at Table 3
Jeff Platt and Justin Young played an uneventful limped pot between the blinds, but it ended up being one of the most exciting moments of the day.
As the hand played out, new table edition Kai Nicholls told the table about the time he hit two wild boars while driving on a poker trip in the Czech Republic and was later detained for over three hours at the German border.
"It felt pretty serious," Nicholls said about the October 2025 incident, adding that he is still awaiting his punishment for fleeing the scene of the "hit and run."
Nicholls said there "hardly any damage, surprisingly," to the car, but the feral pigs weren't so lucky.
"I folded just to listen to this story!" said Michael Rossitto.
Meanwhile, the hand played out as Platt and Young checked on the flop of 6♦8♥10♠. Platt then called a bet of 5,000 on the A♣ turn and bet 18,000 on the 2♣ river to take down the pot.
Unlike those boars, Young, who has nursed a short stack the last few levels, will live to see another day.
