Sickest. Hand. Ever.

Pavlin Karakikov opened to 5,600 and thought everybody folded. He exposed his hand to show the table -- {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. But Voytek Glab was in the big blind and called. Karakikov was stuck playing the hand face up.

The flop came {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and Glab bet 6,000. Karakikov called and the turn came {A-Spades}. Glab then moves all in for 44,600 and sent Karakikov into the tank. With three over cards on the board Karakikov made the hero call and Glab tabled {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades}.

The table was up in arms over Karakikov's call, but then the river came....

{5-Hearts}!

The table exploded and prompted Dwyte Pilgrim to call it "the sickest hand ever."

Karakikov lost a huge chunk of chips and then received a one orbit penalty for exposing his hand prematurely. Now that's poker folks!
