Ace Saves Sebok

Ship it to the Bok!

"It's a skill game," as Dutchman Rolf Slotboom always informs me with a slight hint of sarcasm when he witnesses a bad beat, but as we all know, you can't triumph in these events without stumbling upon the odd slice of luck, and that's exactly what Joe Sebok encountered just moments ago.

Short-stacked and all in with A-Q, Joe found himself in the sometimes merciful hands of the poker gods as his opponents revealed queens and kings. But an ace on the turn proved his saviour, leaving Joe with a much more playable, but still below his starting stack, 2,350.
