The Lucky Mango Strikes Again

Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

The cards of JC Alvarado were all but rushed away, as his pocket jacks were no match to the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} of Dan Smith. Just prior to the hand, Steve O'Dwyer asked Smith if he wanted some mango and the American jumped over to grab a piece before he looked up Alvarado for some 100,000 with the inferior pocket pair. Next you'd see a board of {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} that gave Smith quads and Alvarado was jinxed out by the magic mango.

Smith then told an extra story shortly after: When O'Dwyer was short, he tried to sell the lucky mango and the best offer was 20 HKD. Someone offered 100 USD and O'Dwyer declined, then started eating the mango slices.
