During the EPT grand final table, Pastor, Frank, and Mateos were all involved in an all in pot pre-flop. Pastor is having the best day ever and wakes up with pocket aces. Frank and Mateos are not having the best time with pocket Kings and Pocket Queens. The chances of all three of them getting dealt pocket pairs is slim to none. Being that these are the three best possible starting hands you could have in poker, all players shove all in with their tournament life on the line. The FlopBefore the flop, Frank and Mateos only have 2 outs each. This means that only 4 cards in the deck could possibly crush Pastors dreams of winning the EPT. Pastor has a 66% chance of winning one of the biggest pots in the tournament. The flop is a pretty big dud. It comes out duece, ten, four. This only skyrockets pastors chances of winning. His chances go all the way up to 83%. Frank and Mateos are already packing their bags to go home. They each only have about a 5% chance of winning the pot. The turn and riverAs they are walking out, a queen comes on the turn. Pastors joy turns to utter disbelief as he realizes how screwed he really is. Mateos' chances of winning this hand went from about 8% to 90%. He went from the biggest dog. Pastor looks like he is about to be sick. The river is another dud, the seven of diamonds. Pastor is probably considering never playing the game again after getting absolutely cold decked. All of the players got their money in good and the bad beats were extraordinary. Frank takes in a pot of around $904,000. This pot made him the chip leader of the tournament. People may just say that that is poker and you should suck it up. However, I can not think of a worse feeling in the game than getting your aces cracked.
