Straight Flush > Quads

Moments ago, a table in the back row of the convention center exploded with cheers. It piqued our interest, and once the cell phone cameras started coming out, we opted to rush over.

When we arrived, we saw something quite incredible - a straight flush and quads. In the same hand.

The board was {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, and Wee Tan was left shaking his head with {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}. His opponent, David Paredes, was all smiles with {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}.

According to Paredes, he was all in on the river for 37,975. Tan obviously made the call, and despite losing the large pot, is still healthy with around 50,000 chips.

Paredes is now up to around 90,000 chips, and has a story to tell for the rest of his life.
