No-Limit Hold'em

Thomas Fuller raised to 85,000 under the gun as action went on Dean Joe in the big blind. "I might have to call with anything," Joe said as he put in the chips. Joe went to turn over his cards, but Fuller then pointed out he had 5,000 behind. "I bet blind then," Joe said, going to the A♦9♠5♣ flop, and Fuller called.

Thomas Fuller: K♣10♦ All in
Dean Joe: 6♦2♠

"Deuce!" Joe shouted, and he got his wish on the 2♣ turn to take the lead. The river, though, was the 10♠ to give Fuller a bigger pair and the double-up.

"That would've been so dirty," Joe added.

Fuller drew one and Riesenberg stood pat and bet. Fuller called and drew one, while Riesenberg patted again and bet. Fuller, who had less than a big bet behind, quickly folded.

Dean Joe related that he had made a wheel against No. 4 a few hands earlier. "A wheel four-handed is hard to do," tablemate Michael Balan said.
