Good Grief! Charlie Brown Gets Lucky.

Charlie Brown raised to 2,500 and was reraised to 7,000 from the button. Brown shoved, the button called, and the hands were shown.

Brown: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Button: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Unlike his comic book counterpart, Brown didn't take the worst of the hand as the door card on a flop of {10-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Hearts} gave him a set. He turned the house with the {J-Hearts} on the turn and then faded his opponent's remaining three outs to take the pot and double up his stack.
