Paluf and Interesting

[user46392]

"All in and call!" bellowed a gentleman who was not the dealer, and various media types scurried over to witness it.

The gentleman in question was one Ryan Paluf. His opponent tabled {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. "Oh no," said the rather excitable Paluf, that's impossible." He turned over {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}.

"Come on," he continued, "Freeroll me one time."

But the flop came down rainbow. "Oh, no fun," said Paluf, but still didn't sit back down. "Sickest hand ever," he announced, "Made by space aliens."

A moment later there was a second Paluf cry of, "All in and call!" but there were no takers this time and he showed the table pocket eights. "Come on, doesn't someone have tens this time?"
