Talk About a Cold Deck!

Table 45 just recalled to us a very surreal hand.

Under the gun opened with a raise. A player in early position then put in a 3-bet before the the button put in yet another reraise. The deep starting stacks allowed the UTG player to 5-bet before finally the EP player moved all in!

The button couldn't believe the carnage that was going down as he said he folded {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}. The UTG player also tabled {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and found himself in one of the worst preflop spots possible as his opponent revealed {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}.

Not only had the king outs gone for the UTG player, but both players had the same suits so he also a flush would not help either. With only a straight to save him, the board bricked out rather anticlimactically and the aces held to scoop the pot.
