Gregoire Hits a Miracle One-Outer

Level 22 : 3,000/6,000, 0 ante

We weren't near the table when the following hand played out, but the shouts across the Miranda ballroom have been very clear: Some cruel bad beat must have happened.

"Yes!" Matthew Gregoire shouted.

"Goddammit!" Eddie Blumenthal countered.

We were informed that it was a set-over-set confrontation where Gregoire was on the wrong side. However, the river changed everything as he caught his one-outer, hitting quads to stay alive.

When we approached the table, the chips have already been shipped to Gregoire who has his hand turned up, the {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{X-} next to the board of {J-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{J-Spades}.

Blumenthal's hand was already in the muck but it was obvious that he held aces.
