----------------------------------- Mark_Rogers 04.11.2006, 17:34 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!" ----------------------------------- BARB711 03.09.2009, 18:19 ----------------------------------- got me, im totally clueless ----------------------------------- afulk8 03.09.2009, 19:22 ----------------------------------- Mansour Matloubi? ----------------------------------- cocakolakid 03.09.2009, 19:29 ----------------------------------- Mansour Matloubi ----------------------------------- ojisplayin 03.09.2009, 21:40 ----------------------------------- Hans "Tuna" Lund ----------------------------------- slotmom 03.09.2009, 23:48 ----------------------------------- I don't know but nice to meet you ----------------------------------- shortstuff 04.09.2009, 14:48 ----------------------------------- The poker player with the winning hand :) ----------------------------------- win4maw 04.09.2009, 18:33 ----------------------------------- Mansour Matloubi win4maw ----------------------------------- broxi 04.09.2009, 18:37 ----------------------------------- LOL its amazing it took 3 years from initial posting to get people guessing what the answer was lol...just a pity the topic starter wont be around to say who he definetely meant ----------------------------------- msfilly 05.09.2009, 09:41 ----------------------------------- I think it was Mansour ----------------------------------- BARB711 06.09.2009, 13:03 ----------------------------------- GL WITH THIS ONE ----------------------------------- BARB711 18.09.2009, 13:07 ----------------------------------- well who was it??? lol ----------------------------------- crzynana2001 18.09.2009, 15:17 ----------------------------------- This whole post is nothing more than an advertisment for his book....
