"This One Goes Straight Into the Record Books! I Have Taken a Hand From a Pro!"

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sam Trickett and neighbor Ghassan El-Hoss were chatting, both with a big smile, when action folded to Trickett in the small blind. UK's all time money leader raised it up to 4,500, adding "You don't like to fold, you like to talk and call" when El-Hoss indeed added 3,300 to see a flop.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} and Trickett bet out 4,000. El-Hoss was quick to call.

The {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Trickett now checked. El-Hoss again didn't need much time as he bet 7,000. Trickett called.

The {A-Diamonds} completed the board and Trickett and El-Hoss both checked. Though it was Trickett's to show first, El-Hoss immediately showed {A-Spades}{J-Spades} and Trickett mucked.

El-Hoss put his hands together one firm time and with a raised voice said "This one goes straight into the record books! I have taken a hand from a pro!"

Trickett and El-Hoss were both laughing. "I was a little bit concerned when you stopped talking, thought you might have something" Trickett said with a big smile.

"You had to show first" El-Hoss said. "I know, but you were so happy to show your hand" Trickett replied still smiling.

Trickett is still doing well with 150,000. His neighbor from Wales, which we might have to nickname "The Boss" from now on, sits at about a 100,000.
