Taxi!

After a series of raises a player was all in with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} against Andrew Black's {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}.

As ESPN arrived at the table, Black told the cameras that he got in a taxi two years ago, and it was his opponent that picked him up.

The board fell {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {2-Spades} giving Black a pair of aces, eliminating his opponent.

As he got up to exit the tournament area, the former cab driver quipped, "I guess I should have asked for a bigger tip when I dropped you off."

Andrew Black - 225,000
