William Kassouf opened to 375 from middle position. Russ Head, on the button, three-bet to 1,400. Action folded back to Kassouf: ''I think I got the best hand, must be the cold deck'' before adding the remainder to call.

A flop reading {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades} was dealt. ''Set over set..'' commented Kassouf before checking.

Head threw in a bet of 2,000.

''So lucky. Jack-deuce is good,'' Kassouf continued before folding his pair of fours face up.

His opponent showed ace-king, before raking in the pot. ''Cold Deck'' Kassouf repeated.
