That's One Way to Win a Race

No-Limit Hold'em:

Frank Gary moved all in for about 10,000, and Greg Debora looked him up from the small blind, putting in the call. The hands were turned over:

Debora: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Gary: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

The two were off to the races, and Frank Gary came out on top in the most unconventional manner. The board astoundingly ran out {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {7-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. The quad sixes on the board counterfeited Debora's overpair, and let Gary's {A-Clubs} play as the winning kicker.

Frank Gary raked in a survival pot worth 22,000 chips, and after the hand, even he was amazed. "I thought this only happened online," he said with a half-chuckle. Debora isn't in much of a laughing mood now, though, as he lost a sizable chunk of his chips on that race.
