Scully Pays Off Vidal
The table has spent a good part of the last level ribbing James Obst over the famous hand in which he folded a full house against Michael Ruane's straight flush in the 2016 Main Event.
"Is that really your claim to fame? Folding a full house to a straight flush," Mike Thorpe asked Obst, who could only smile.
"Let's bring it up right now. Put it up on the screen. We don't need the clock," another tablemate said.
"Guy comes all the way from Australia to enjoy a nice, quiet game of Omaha 8 and gets sat at this table," another added.
At the same time, Ben Vidal raised from early position, and Ryan Scully called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♣6♦Q♦, and Scully led out with a bet. Vidal called, then called again on the 2♠ turn.
"What are you working on," Scully asked.
"Not much right now," Vidal replied as they saw the 2♣ river. Scully checked over to Vidal, who put in a bet.
"You are the fishiest fish ever," Scully said before calling. Vidal turned over A♦2♦5♥10♦ for trip deuces as he took the pot.
