Eugene Todd's Favorite Hand

[user14554]

A player opens for 600 and is called by two players, including Eugene Todd, before Philippe Boucher in the small blind pushes all-in. Eugene Todd calls, saying "this is my favorite hand." His favorite hand is apparently {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Spades}

Boucher has {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

. The flop of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

gives Boucher top pair, but also gives Todd the flush draw. Like a mantra, Todd repeats "spade baby" until the river delivers the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

.

Eugene Todd says, "Sorry kid" to which Boucher responds, "I'm not a kid." "Sorry adult," says Todd.
