It seems Manuel Hansimikali is getting the right cards today.
It was addressed that Hansimikali showed pocket aces three hands in a row which sent his table into chaos.
One player said he would "eat Hansimikali's s**t" if he was able to show them again.
Sure enough, Hansimikali then showed pocket aces two hands in a row shortly after to make it five times in the space of an hour.
We'll wait to see if the player lives up to his promise.
