Amazing hand on the feature table.
3 Players see a flop of 3 4 A
Two players get their chips in :-
Vikrum Mehta has 4 3
Grant Spiers has A 3
The turn brings a 4 to give Vikrum a fullhouse
But the river is an Ace for the redraw and it"s a bigger fullhouse for Grant.
The pot was about 45k and has left Vikrum with less than 10k.

I"ll remember that hand for some considerable time. After the BB bet and i raise, then the SB (Vikrum) check/shoves. Very nearly folded and was so relieved when the cards went face up, then experienced the fastest rollercoaster of my life :D
Anyone know the odds for that turn/river combination? 600/1 ish?

Good to meet you again at the weekend Grant. Well done with the consistent results too!
Re the odds, I think it goes something like this;
With your two hands and the flop visible, there are 7 cards known and 45 unknown. There are 2 fours and 2 aces left and for the result you got it doesn"t matter which order they come in. The odds of an ace or four on the turn will be 4/45. Once one of these comes, the odds of the other card coming on the river will be 2/44. The odds of both these happening will be 4/45 times 2/44 which is 8/1980, which simplifies to 1/247.5 or 246.5 to 1.
For the sequence to be specifically a four then an ace, the chances will be 2/45 times 2/44 which is 4/1980, which simplifies to 1/495 or 494 to 1.
Either way a lucky result!
Alan.

Cheers Alan, yeah was thinking about that sequence specifically. Couldn"t figure it out last night as my head was hurting from the number of cards i"ve seen over the weekend and the long drive home. Was an amazing weekend and glad with how I played, calls and probably more importantly some of the lay-downs I made. Had more than my fair share of luck as well in the other 2 tournaments but glad to have won and been 5th, made up a bit for bubbling the main event. Hope to catch up again in the 2011 season 8)
