Winning Hand
A matter of minutes after Megusta has doubled up he's all-in again. This time the money has gone in on the flop of 3d 7h 6c
He's dominated this time... Brian's got
Ac 7d Vs. As 4c
The crowd doesn't know what to expect this time. Megusta seems to have the rub of the felt but surely he can't suck out again!?!
The Turn Comes 10c
"Keep 'em high, keep 'em high!" shouts a railbird.
