Are you sitting? You’re going to want to sit for this crazy hand from the 2017 World Series of Poker Main event Final Table.
Here’s the setting: John Hesp — a 64-year-old amateur from Yorkshire who’s a caravan salesman — was the chip leader for a little while with over 100 million chips, with Scott Blumstein sitting behind him holding 77 million.
Here’s the video and a breakdown after:
Blumstein ends up with pocket Aces and raises before the flop. Hesp and his Ace-10 of hearts and a lot of chips to burn, calls. If you know your poker, you know that an Ace would doom Hesp into thinking he could bet with top pair.
An Ace-7-5 comes out and both players check.
Then? It’s a 10. Ohhhhh nooooooooooooooooooo! Hesp thinks he’s got Blumstein beat with two pair, but it’s those three Aces that give his opponent a guaranteed win.
That’s when it gets really dramatic: Blumstein bets 3 million, just enough to entice a bet, and Hesp raises to 7 million, not knowing this hand is already over. Blumstein re-rasies to 17 million, and Hesp goes all-in.
Poof. Things to do near crown casino melbourne. In one moment, Blumstein has won 156 million chips, giving him an insane chip lead, and Hesp, by the end of the night, was left with over 22 million.
Don’t feel too bad for Hesp. He’s still alive at the final table and will take home at least $1.4 million for his efforts with seven players remaining.
