"Set over set," a flabbergasted Aydogan yelled to his rail. The spectators lining the rail were in disbelief and watched the board run out the turn and 
river.

Kitty Kuo raised to 35,000, Andrew Bassat reraised to 76,000, and then Kuo came back over the top with an all-in shove.
"All right, I'll call you," said an innocent Bassat, turning up the 
to put himself at risk.
Kuo had the 
.
What's interesting about this all-in situation was the railbirds that swarmed to the table. The group of them seemed much more interested in rooting for Kuo to win, but not because they favored Kuo as a player. It was because they were the railbirds of Mikel Habb at the other table who was short, had just doubled up, and was looking to hit a pay jump.
"Queen! Queen!" they yelled, as an anxious Bassat stood behind his chair waiting for the flop to come out.
The flop came 
, and Bassat's kings were still best. Even so, the railbirds held out hope that Kuo would win the hand.
"A queen is coming on the river, don't worry," one of them said. "There's always the river."
"Queen! Queen!" another pleaded.
Another man, who didn't seem to be associated with any particular party, also chimed in. "The river is going to be an ace or whatever," he said.
The turn was the 
, and Bassat only needed to dodge one more card to double up, but when the smacked on fifth street you could see his heart drop to the floor. Kuo had made a winning set of queens, and Bassat looked dejected.
The railbirds jumped up and down as they yelled over to Habb what happened. Habb was excited with the bustout and gave another one of his patented yells of "C'mon!" before he clapped his hands together again.
As for Bassat, he shook the hands of some players at his table, grabbed his backpack, and made his way to the payout desk.

, and Habb turned up his 
before he walked some 20 or 30 feet away from the table.
Habb was pacing back on forth with his hands on his hips as the dealer dealt the 
flop. He didn't seem too worried about how the board was running out, likely figuring he'd know the result one way or another by the reaction of those watching. One of Habb's friends, who was playing a cash game at another table in the room, had run over to the rail and was sweating the all-in situation hard.
The turn was the 
, and the river was the .
"Yeah!" yelled Habb's railbird. "You doubled, mate!"
Habib began to make his way back to the table. As he did so, he slapped his hands together loudly and yelled, "C'mon!"
Michael was left with 265,000 in chips.
