Also, see footage of a player in Texas laying down top set of aces on a dry board in a hand that had the poker community talking.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board read 4♣K♣7♣9♣. Phong Lu quickly called the all in from his opponent and it was quickly apparent why as he tabled the A♣Q♠ for the nut flush.
