Those Sixes and Nines Strike Again

The lookalike sixes and nines in the much-maligned "Poker Peek" decks just cost one player his entire stack. On a flop of {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Rep Porter bet 400, his opponent moved all in and Porter called. Porter showed A-T while his opponent held 4-6, believing he had flopped two pair. Only, what he thought was a six was actually a nine! The turn was the {8-Hearts} and the river the {J-Clubs}, giving him no help. After he was knocked out, he stood and looked at the board, just shaking his head.
