The Three Best Friends That Anyone Could Have

Benjamin Powell: (X)(X) / {2-}{2-}{a-}{9-} / (X)
McLean Karr: (X)(X) / {3-}{6-}{j-}{6-} / (X)
Tommy Chen: (X)(X) / {3-}{8-}{j-}{j-} / (X)

Powell completed, Chen made it two bets, Karr made it three bets, Powell called, and Chen made it four bets. Karr contemplated capping, but just called, and so too did Powell. The action was indeed capped on fourth, but on fifth things slowed down. Karr led out, and both Powell and Chen called. It was Powell's turn to lead out on sixth - showing the lowest pair - and he received two calls.

Powell led again on seventh, both players folded, and Powell won a massive pot.

"This is a razz machine table," Daniel Idema commented.

"Show the full house!" Bryan "The Icon" Micon urged him.

Powell didn't show all of his cards, just a {k-}.

"He's just going crazy with his Hangover money," Micon joked.

Powell does resemble Hangover star Zach Galifianakis - it's the beard - and now has close to 80,000 chips.

Karr busted a few hands later.
