Honey Man Doubles Through

As I squirmed my way through the tables like a champion slalom racer in search of a pot with 'red' chips (yes, they're worth 1,000), I managed to stumble upon one hand where all the chips were in the middle, never mind just the big ones.

In this case, the jubilant man was Albert 'Honey Man' Sapiano, a regular face on the UK circuit. All in with {K-Hearts}{6-Hearts} versus {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} on a {4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop, Albert managed to avoid a ragtastic {9-Diamonds} turn and {2-Diamonds} river to see his chips increase two fold, and his opponent's drop to 75.

"Chip and a chair," consolidated Albert. "You got unlucky there."
