Tidbits of Mediocre Interestingness

Two dramatic, yet small pots:

Tommy Vedes had an opponent all in for his last 2,900 holding {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts} to the at-risk player's {J-Spades} {Q-Clubs}. The gentleman who was all in stood up to sweat his fate as the dealer ran him a friendly {7-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {Q-Spades} flop. When the {3-Spades} landed on fourth street, Vedes said, "Sit down, my friend," but the gentleman did not heed his advice. Instead, the {K-Diamonds} on the river drew slow "ooooh" from everyone at the table, Vedes making his Broadway straight to earn the knockout. He's at about 11,000 now.

A minute later, we watched another all in play out between two players we don't recognize. The shorter of the two stacks turned up {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}, all in for about 9,500. His opponent looked him up with {K-Spades} {J-Spades}, and the at-risk player wished him luck. "You don't mean good luck. You mean have fun!" came the reply.

"Well I don't want you to win..."

The dealer burned a card and flopped three with the {9-Hearts} showing right in the window. It wasn't actually a great as it looked, however, as the rest of the flop rolled out {10-Spades} {A-Spades} {9-Hearts} to nail both players squarely. The table reacted to the big flop. If the flop was dangerous for the pocket nines, the turn {A-Clubs} was a fine sight, filling him up to leave him safe to any card except the {Q-Spades}. The river was the {K-Hearts} though, and he's found a double the hard way.

"So sick. I door-card my set and I still have a huge sweat."
