Routos Calls His Shot

James Routos and two other players got it all in preflop. One player turned over {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. The other player turned over {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

"Set of eights," Routos announced, tabling {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Routos' most likely path to victory was actually a flush after the first four cards came {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{k-Hearts}, leaving the player with ace-king likely to bust both opponents, as he had the most chips. The dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades} for the river, and Routos' prophecy had been fulfilled.
