Just like to say a big well done to Sky Poker for this weekend and tomorrow. Look forward to reading young Kendall's post on Omaha and see if I'm up to the challenge of Omaha
This gives our man top 2 sets, yet I challenge you all to find a card that is good for him on the river
(Hint: you can't!)
This is a pretty extreme hand, but it serves as a good hand to show that you might have the nuts at a specified time during a hand, but you cannot win the hand because of all the draws that are out there.

Feel free to try & recreate the hand here. The problem is, it really needs Card Icons, which "they" have, & we don't, to make it easy to read.
I wish with every bone in my body we had card icons here, but we don't, & that's that. Rather sad that, I have to say.
I'm not sure the hand will read well without Card Icons, but feel free to try. maybe - maybe - it will Copy & Paste, but I doubt it.
I saw the hand in a book that Phil Hellmuth penned a good few years back.

Player 2:
Player 3:
Player 4:
Player 5:
Player 6:
And the flop, unbelievably, was:
, which helped EVERYONE. Which hand would you want after that flop? Top set? Middle set? The straight flush draw?
The turn, now, was the King of clubs:

Bet your hand to protect your hand.
