After a series of exclamations at Table 10, we jumped over to see what the fuss was about—it turned out to be a pretty crazy runout for Fred Paradis.

He was heads up with the board showing and had his opponent at risk. Paradis had the lead with against until a third six hit the turn. There was only one ace left in the deck that could send Paradis the pot and it came on the river to send his opponent walking away.

Fred Paradis – 96,800 (81 bb)
