"I'm a Luckbox!"

Self-admitted luckbox Andrew Oataway
Self-admitted luckbox Andrew Oataway
With the blinds sky-high at 30,000-60,000, it's pretty much all in or fold for our remaining three players.

John Williams decided to try his luck, pushing in with {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Andrew Oataway called from the big blind with {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. The flop was {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} pairing Williams' eight, but lightning struck again for Oataway when the {A-Diamonds} spiked on the turn. The river was the {Q-Spades} and Oataway doubled up to 620,000 while Williams was left with 88,000.

"I'm the biggest luckbox in the casino!" he cried as the pot was shipped his way.
