Piper Feels the Fours

Some curiousness from the moustachioed mind of Mike Piper.

We caught the action with Piper and his one opponent checking the {7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop and thus seeing a {4-Clubs} turn for free. Piper bet out 5,100 into the rather small pot and his opponent called. They saw an {a-Clubs} river and this time Piper bet 7,100; again, his opponent made the call.

Cards on their backs, and Piper's opponent flipped {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for an overpair that had morphed into a flush. Piper - by the by wearing a rather awesome linen suit with short trousers, AC/DC style - could only boast a rather esoteric {q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours, and dropped to 11,000.

[EDIT] - Piper seems to have doubled up since that hand - we strolled by his table and happened to notice he was back up to 25,000. It must be the power of the Motorhead moustache.
