Neuville Experiences Longshot
Nivel 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Pierre Neuville just approached us and asked if we knew what the odds were of being dealt a pair of kings and someone at your table being dealt the other two kings. A little Google searching (other search engines are available) shed some light that it is around 6,016/1 that scenario happening.
The reason we are mentioning this is because Neuville was all-in with pocket kings on a seven-high board against Patrick Fortin, who also held "cowboys." The pot was chopped and both players survived.
"I had aces versus aces yesterday too," explained Neuville, "players moan about 30% chances winning, but what are the odds of what I have seen? They must be in the thousands."
Indeed they are Mr Neuville, indeed they are.
