Karma!

Two players very close to the blogging table had a bit of excitement on a flop of {J-Spades}{Q-Spades}{K-Hearts} when the first player moved all in and was called by a single opponent. The first player turned over K-Q for top two pair while his opponent showed {A-Spades}{8-Spades}. His opponent began chanting, "Spade, spade, spade," and sure enough, the third spade peeled off on the turn. Immediately after, the player jumped out of his seat and yelled, "Yeah!" at the top of his lungs. However, the river brought a third queen, giving the first player a full house, queens full of kings. After the realization set in that he had lost the hand, another player at the table laughed and chuckled, "Karma."
