Mike Linster With the Shock Elimination

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

On a {5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop Mike Linster and an opponent got it all in.

"Do you have the nuts?" asked Linster's opponent.

"No," replied Linster. His opponent showed {4-Spades}{8-Hearts} for a flopped straight, "Well that's unfortunate," said Linster showing {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and the river the {5-Diamonds}, though, and Linster ran down a full house to eliminate his opponent.

Another player who folded preflop told Linster that he had folded pocket sevens. Factoring this in, Linster's odds of winning the hand were less than one percent on the flop.
