This hand is just bonkers. The man makes a huge raise pre-flop, and I call with 53s out of postition. I flop the best possible flop for my hand – and decide to just call the flop to check-raise the turn – but the action goes way different…

I flop a straight flushdraw, make the absolute nuts on the river – and check to induce a bluff. My opponent bets huge, I shove – he instacalls with the second nuts.

SICK.

This was THE FIRST HAND OF THE TOURNAMENT.
