ok this is gross!

With the stakes $200/$400, each player had over $67,000 in front of them so both were very deep-stacked.

In this particular hand, Durrrr raised to $1,200 and called a re-raise of $3,600. Both players saw a flop of Td Ts 7h and son-in-law bets out $5,000, Durrrr raised to $15,700 and son-in-law flat calls. The turn is the five of hearts and son-in-law checks, Durrrr shoves all-in for almost $60,000 and son-in-law calls.

Durrrr shows 8h 6h for an open-ended straight flush draw but son-in-law was a 95.5% favourite having flopped four-of-a-kind tens! However, poker can be a cruel bitch and the four of hearts fell on the river, completing Durrrr's straight flush and awarding him the $135,217 pot!

Eric Seidel vs Gus Hansen

Pretty gross suckout....courtesy of Betfair.com

Shock, horror, Gus Hansen involved in a sick poker hand, this time at the Million Dollar Cash Game. Finding AdQd in early position, Hansen raises and finds calls from Paul Kemsley (Tc9c), Tony G (As3s) and Eric Seidel with a pair of eights.

A flop of Ac 8h 4d gives Hansen top-pair with a decent kicker but he is trailing massively to Seidel's set of eights. Hansen leads out for $6,000 and Kemsley calls him thinking it was only $600! Tony G decide his weak Ace is no good on this board and folds but Seidel builds the pot by raising $14,000, a bet quickly called by The Great Dane.

With Kemsley out of the way, the Queen of spades on the turn improves Hansen's holding to two-pairs but he does not know he is a 90% underdog to Seidel, who bets $20,000! After much deliberation, Hansen makes the call, creating a pot of $75,800!

The Queen of clubs on the river completes a full house for both players! Seidel announces he is all-in, a bet that Hansen instantly calls and none of the players at the table can believe Hansen has hit a runner-runner to beat Seidel in a mammoth $197,600 pot!
