Enormous Hand Alert

[user46392]

An enormous hand and a frankly upsetting outdraw has sent Alain Roy to the rail.

In a blind-on-blind confrontation, we caught up with the action on the turn of the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

board, when small blind Emmett Hickey (incidentally my Awesome Name Of The Day, and he's wearing a Panama hat to boot) bet out 10,000 with a pretty hefty amount already in the pot. Alain Roy in the big blind moved all in for another 18,000, and Hickey was left with a big decision. He stood up and dwelled for a while, then sat down and continued to dwell until the clock was called -- and Hickey called too.

Roy: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

Hickey:

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

River: here comes the outdraw bit...

{J-Diamonds}

Ouch. Roy is bust, and Hickey is up to more than 75,000.
