Cry Me a River

That's the way these cards fall sometimes.
That's the way these cards fall sometimes.
Two interesting hands just went down. I was drawn to both by the "Oohs" and "Ahhs" coming from the respective tables.

The first situation saw two players get it all in on the flop with two spades. One player had a gutshot straight flush draw and the other the nut flush draw. They both made flushes on the river but I bet you can guess which player won the hand.

The second hand saw two players get it in with aces versus queens before the board came {K-?} {K-?} x {Q-?} {A-?}. The all in player thought he was safe when he spiked a queen on the turn but the re-suck two outer came on the river!

You got to love and hate this game.
