We just overheard Minneapolis Jim Meehan telling an interesting story. Two nights ago he had had a few too many drinks and rather than driving home, he jumped into the $300/600 mixed game, because "it`s safer than driving."
After going down in chips in a few hands to 450, something amazing happens. Cloutier cracks pocket aces, with A-10 off-suit. The flop was and Cloutier only had 75 left in a four-way hand, so he pushed all-in. A came on the turn and magic happened when the came on the river. With runner-runner, Cloutier hits a straight!! In one hand, Cloutier went from 450 up to 1800. That's quite a ride.
