Live Poker Is Rigged

A very fortunate double up for Howie Widman, in one of those great runner-runner hands that online players don't think happen in live poker.

Widman got it in with {A-?} {10-?} preflop, thoroughly dominated by Trevor Hackworth's {A-?} {J-?}.

The very unlikely board: {2-?} {8-?} {K-?} {J-?} {Q-?}

Widman doubled to 75,000 or so, while a giggling Hackworth apologized to the table and told them, "Man! I'm tilting so hard right now!"
