"That Was the Craziest Shit I've Ever Seen in My Life!"

Level 4 : 200/400, 50 ante

Some awesome moments can be created at a poker table. A hand that just went down in the Brasilia room is a pure testament.

Erich Maumann opened to 1,300 from early position. One seat over, Alex Louro three-bet, making it 5,000. Action then folded to Eric Berger in late position, and Berger cold four-bet to 12,000. It folded back around to Maumann, who five-bet to 25,000. Louro wasn't done either, six-bet jamming all in for about 32,000. Berger hadn't seen enough, so he seven-bet shoved over top for about 64,000, and Maumann, not wanting to miss out on the party, snap-called, having less.

Maumann: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Berger: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Louro: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

An unreal collection of hands was displayed across the table, and Louro was in trouble.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, giving Maumann a flush draw. The draw was completed when the {9-Hearts} fell on the turn, surely giving him a lock on the hand.

His opponents were only drawing to a chop, which they had only one out and hope of hitting, the eight of hearts.

The dealer patted the table and swept out the {8-Hearts}, completing a straight flush on board.

All three pulled back their chips as the table and surrounding crowd were stunned at the ridiculous outcome.

"That was the craziest shit I've ever seen in my life," yelled one of the tablemates.
