Flood Gaets

"Nice playin' with ya, boys," announced the gentleman who had got his whole stack in from early position with {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. His opponent, Nick Degaetano, was holding {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}.

Flop: {3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Turn: {q-Hearts}!

River: {a-Hearts}!!!

"OH MY GOD!" lamented the all-in player, now busted.

"You must have been sick when the queen came out," a tablemate said to Degaetano.

Replied Degaetano, "I was actually praying for a king." He's up to 47,000.
