The Archive - Who Am I?

Post subject: Who Am I?

The hand that shifted the tournament for me and my heads up competitor started with a pre-flop raise by my opponent. He held pocket tens. I called the $75K hold a Ac-9d. The rollercoaster hand started with my opponent's chances of winning at 73%. The flop showed 9s-2c-4d. I paired my nine and had the best kicker. Still, my opponent had me beat with his pocket and now his odds to win the pot were 78%. So I checked and he bet $100K. I re-raised $250K more. After much thought he pushed back all-in. I felt I was pot committed, so I decided to cover the bet.

Drama ensued as the As came on fourth street. This gave me two pair and a 96% chance to win the pot. The tables had turned and I looked to be on my way to victory at the Main Event. My opponent kicked his chair and was ready to leave defeated. And rightly so given his less than 5% chance to catch one of the two tens left in the now 44 card deck.

Incredibly, the 22 to 1 shot paid off. A 10s on the river gave my opponent a winning set on tens. I would have won the Main Event bracelet if that miracle ten did not hit the river.

Who am I??

HINT: Chip Reese called this hand "the most incredible hand in WSOP history!"
