Hicks Tells a Tale

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tim Duckworth

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

"Hey! Hey! Hey PokerNews!" bellowed Eric Hicks as a PokerNews reporter was walking past his table.

Hicks was in the middle of a hand where he was facing a check-raise from Timothy McDermott, and eventually decided to fold.

"I got a story to tell you." Hicks added.

"I'm serious. You need to write this down. This is the best hand every played." Hicks continued.

As the PokerNews reporter stood there listening, Hicks continued to splurge details.

"So this guy there had like 120,000" Hicks stated as he pointed to seat five that is currently occupied by Adam Levy.

"Not me. The guy before me" Levy confirmed.

"So he raised big, like 20 or 30,000, and I looked down at seven-deuce. I thought about just folding, but I was like why not, so I called." Hicks stated.

"The flop was like king-eight-deuce and I checked to him, and he bet big; like 20,000 again. I just shoved all in for like 150,000 and he went into the tank!" Hicks continued before he just starts laughing out loud.

"I didn't want to break him, but now I wanted to break him, and he was in pain sitting there thinking and rubbing his head." Hicks added.

"Eventually he calls with King-Queen. And then a deuce came on the turn and I broke him!" Hicks remarked and then laughed again.

"I broke him so good. You gotta write the hand. It's the best. All these guys aren't having fun, but I am!" Hicks stated to complete his story.
