Big-O

Four players saw a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and the action checked around to the {k-Hearts} on the turn. Gladys Tano led out for 200 but was called by all three players, including Kinh Dang in the cutoff and Allen Kessler on the button.

The {j-Diamonds} landed on the river and the action checked to Dang who tossed in a bet of 600. Kessler quickly called and Tano did the same. Tano was the first to show her cards, flipping over {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for a set but Dang held {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a straight. Kessler tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for two pair and the best low hand, to scoop half the pot.

"I needed another king, or an eight," Kessler explained, not realizing that neither of those cards would have worked for him.
