Chad Not Failla's Good-Luck Charm

ESPN personality Norman Chad came over to Will "the Thrill" Failla's table to chat with Failla just as Failla was playing a hand. In position, Failla called a raise to 525. "I've never not flopped a set with Norman sweating me," he told the table. Failla's opponent check-caled a bet of 1,000 on a jack-high flop, {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{j-Clubs}. The action checked the rest of the way asthe board got scary with a {q-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river. At showdown, it was seen that Faillia's presto, {5-}{5-}, had been out-flopped by his opponent's {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, top pair.

"So your statement now is no longer correct," Chad told Failla after the hand.
