Crazy Hands

The Main Event brings out all types of poker players and all types of poker playing. Over in the green section, we've had the luxury of seeing some unbelievable hands on both sides of the spectrum.

Earlier, we saw a hand over on table #155 where the board read {K-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} {J-?} {3-?}. After all the betting was over, one player turned up {9-?} {8-?} and the other player turned up {9-?} {7-?} for a chipped pot.

In another hand more recently, one player flopped top pair, top kicker with {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} on a board of {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {3-Hearts} against a player holding pocket jacks. The turn brought the {J-Diamonds}, putting the jacks in the lead. But when the river fell the {Q-Hearts}, broadway was made by the player holding big slick.

From nine-high chops to suck-resuck hands, we've seen a lot, but this is surely only the beginning.
