"He Flopped The Nuts, Sir"

Tuan Lam and his opponent get it all in on a flop of {J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Lam had his opponent covered and they turn up their cards . . .

Lam: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

After the showdown Lam's opponent, who had apparently misread either the board and/or Lam's hand, stood up and said "Come on low cards!! . . . Come On!" The dealer obliged, bringing the {6-Diamonds} on the turn and the {4-Clubs} on the river. Lam's opponent let out a sigh of relief and say "Yeah! . . . There we go." It was awkwardly apparent to the rest of the table that Tuan Lam had won the hand, not his opponent. Lam's opponent began to slowly realize things didn't add up, at which point someone at the table finally broke the news to him, "He flopped the nuts, sir [pointing to Lam's hand]." Tuan Lam is now working with 378,000.
