Crazy Hand Alert

KK Bad for Bax
KK Bad for Bax
When you deal as many hands as we have seen at the Rio over the last six weeks, hands like the ones that follow are bound to happen.

Keith Ferrera raised it up under the gun. A short stack a couple players down moved all in. Cliff 'Johnny Bax' Josephy reraised. The player next to act folded what he said were two queens. All the money went in, and the players exposed their hands.

Ferrera: A A
Bax: K K
Short Stack: J J

The player who folded the queens shot out of his seat when a queen hit the flop. Unfortunately for Bax, no king hit the board, and Keith Ferrera shot up to 460,000 in chips. Bax tumbles all the way down to 50,000.
