Tough hand to get knocked out of the WSOP with!
Mike Panzarella was eliminated on what was close to a 1,000-to-1 shot. The board was A7288 . Panzarella held A-A and got what he thought was the perfect flop... a set of aces on a rainbow board. He fired out 7K on the river hoping to entice some action with his full house. His opponent, Takaski Takii, re-raised all in and Panzarella quickly called. Takii flipped over 88 for quads. He caught two perfect cards to send Panzarella to the rail. The odds are slightly under 1,000-to-1 that a player with a pocket pair with no help on the flop will get running cards for quads. Panzarella's exit seems unbelievable, but one of our reporters happened to be walking by his table when his Armageddon unfolded.
