When in the World is Carmin San Argiero?

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We heard a player shout out in joy after winning a pot, and after a quick investigation we discovered why.

Carmin Argiero had hit the river with his {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}, when the final board rolled out {4-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. His opponent held {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and with top pair on the flop he was in the lead over Argiero's ace-high, until the river delivered a dagger.

Argiero, like most poker players who catch lucky on the last card, was quick to point out that he deserved the win, saying "hey, that's the best hand I've had all day."
