Do NOT Tempt Fate

An all-in and a call saw a showdown between {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} and {A-Hearts} {6-Spades}. The board came down {6-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts} at which point the player with {K-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} celebrated, clapping his hands even as the {K-Diamonds} appeared on the river.

At this point, he finally realised he'd been overtaken on the river, before shaking his opponent's hand and wishing everyone good luck.

The moral of the story: Do not annoy the poker gods.
