Lyons' Full House Sent Opponent to Rail in Fun Way
Poker can produce light-hearted moments among players at a table. One such occasion occurred at Table 226, where a player in late position was all in.
The board showed 9♣9♠K♣ on the flop, and Linda Lyons inadvertently tabled her hand believing she was heads-up. But the big blind was still in the hand and Lyons, who had K♥9♥, didn’t see his cards when she tabled.
The all-in player took one look at Lyons’ flopped full house and chuckled.
“I fold!” the player in the big blind exclaimed with a laugh after seeing her cards.
Lyons’ remaining opponent tabled A♣6♥ and stood up as the dealer placed J♣ on the turn. He congratulated Lyons on the hand after 6♦ landed on the river before heading to the rail.
Despite Lyons’ misstep of inadvertently tabling her hand, the moment brought smiles around the table.
