Forget About That Advance on Your Allowance

This strange-but-true story sounds like a variation on Lucky You. Or perhaps Oedipus Rex.

A father, Roger Robinson, and son, Carl Miller, registered at separate times for this tournament. A couple of table changes later and they were seated at the same table. No shinola.

Then came a hand in which a short-stacked Robinson pushed all in, and Miller woke up with pocket aces. He made the call, and ended up knocking out Dad.
