Richard Sklar began coughing as the cards were being dealt. "I put too much cupcake in my mouth. I raise," he managed to get out as he completed. Only Andrey Zhigalov called.
Zhigalov bet on fourth and fifth streets as Sklar called. Sklar then bet on sixth and Zhigalov called.
Sklar bet again on seventh and Zhigalov called once more. Sklar showed A♣8♣8♦ for a flush and Zhigalov mucked.
"Must have been that Hostess cupcake," Sklar said as he collected the pot.
"It looked like he might be dead, but now," Dario Alioto added.
