After reading ESPNs "The best hand I've ever played".....

[sjay2k]

This hand was actually played by my friend, but I still thought it was pretty cool

Game is 15/30 limit holdem (my friend told me the BB in question has made a couple of moves on the river in this session)

Folds to my friend on the button, he raises with 4s5s

SB 3-bets, BB calls, my friend calls

Flop is

2s-6h-7h

SB bets, BB calls, my friend raises, SB 3-bets and BB caps.

Turn is 9s

SB bets, BB calls, my friend calls

River is 10d

SB bets, BB raises, my friend 3-bets (!!), SB folds, BB folds.


My friend scoops an obscene pot, shows 5-high and all hell breaks loose in chat. SB had AA and BB had KhQh. Just sick.
