Hassan Beats the House

Mohammed Hassan has moved several rungs up the chip ladder, spectacularly propelled by some timely pocket rockets.

His opponent called a raise with K-Q, and found himself most pleased with the A-Q-Q flop. Hassan, however, also seemed rather happy. A little less happy perhaps with the second ace on the turn, Hassan's opponent nevertheless got his chips in, and was horrified to see that Hassan was holding not one ace for a bigger house but two for quads. "Sick," was all our opponent had to say. Sick, indeed.
