"The Sickest Runout Ever"
We walked by a table and found two players staring in astonishment at a straight flush on the board. With the spread neatly across the table, this confrontation ended in a chopped pot, but the man holding jokingly asked if he could play the low end while describing the runout as the "sickest ever."
His opponent was glad that the answer was in the negatory, as his had just dodged destruction by hitting perfect-perfect, in an occurence our Poker Odds Calculator shows to be just a 0.1% likelihood.
Judging by the last few hands we've witnessed, pocket rockets just might not be the hand to play here on Day 1 of this $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event.
