The Internet Hand of a Lifetime

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We heard the words above uttered by a tablemate of Larry Tull, who had just eliminated two players and built a healthy stack with an unlikely draw out.

According to Tull, his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} was trailing badly when the money went in preflop, against the {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and {10-}{10-} held by his two opponents.

A flop of {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} brought a little something for everybody, as Tull's opponent's both flopped sets, leaving him in a bad way with just top pair.

Turn: {2-Diamonds}
River: {3-Diamonds}

As quick as an online suckout, but much more painful for the fallen players here today, the dealer dropped running diamonds to give Tull the improbable win. As he celebrated his good fortune, the other players at the table commiserated over the painful beat they had just witnessed.
