Nothing Funner

Thomas "Thunder" Keller was all in for about 160,000 and found himself up against Alan Gould, who had him covered. Keller had {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}, not such a good hand to have versus Gould's {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, giving Gould a set and making things even worse for Keller. However, the {Q-Spades} on the turn did give him a chance in the hand.

Then came the river card -- the {J-Spades} -- followed by a roar from players and those watching the table. Keller's runner-runner Broadway straight keeps him in the tourney.

"That's officially the worst suckout I've ever done," said Keller, "I genuinely feel bad for him."

Keller is now at 335,000, and Gould at 430,000.
