Stares Wins with Worst Hand

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On the flop of {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}, one player checked to Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Van Marcus. He fired 450 and John Stares raised to 1,500. The next player folded before the player on the button went into the tank. "I can't believe I'm throwing this away," he said as he tanked over his decision. Finally, he tossed the hand away, flashing it to the player next to him. The first player folded and then Marcus folded, showing {Q-}{10-}. Stares showed the {Q-}{8-} for a worse hand. The button said he folded {Q-}{J-} and if that's true, Stares won with the worst hand.

Stares won the Grand-Super Final Table in the Poker Night pub poker league. Winning that got him his seat in this Aussie Millions Main Event and he's already making moves and picking up chips.
