Someone's Not Gonna Enjoy Dinner

Paul Kobel won a huge pot with pocket aces against players holding tens and kings. All the money went in before the flop and the door card was the {10-Clubs}. The crowd gathered around the table, went, "Oooh!"...until the dealer spread the rest of the flop and the {A-Clubs} appeared.

The other card on the flop was the {6-Spades}, and the turn card was the {6-Diamonds}. That made another player at the table say, "Oooghhh." He said that he folded pocket sixes before the flop, and everyone believed him. True, hard to hang onto pocket sixes with three players all in before the flop, but it's still gonna leave a bad taste in your mouth. Kobel is now up to 50,000.
