A Must Have for Your Poker Hand Collection from EPT Barcelona

Poker writers are forever trying to highlight the skill but we all know that it is ultimately the luck that draws fans and TV audiences and accounts for much of the fascination and excitement associated with the game of poker. While this amazing hand from the €50,000 buy-in #SuperHighRoller provides plenty of ammunition for the luck vs. skill argument, it is also a perfect example of poker magic at work and is sure to get thousands of fish dreaming shark dreams :)

@Sven Reichardt opened for 160,000 with K♦ K♠ and @Olivier Busquet 3-bet shoved his 1.5 million stack with A♠ 2♠:

Cards were down and Olivier went from 0.4% probability on the flop, through 5% on the turn, and all the way to winning the 3,290,000 pot! 

Busquet: "No matter how good you are that's what has to happen to win a tournament, especially with this tough a field, so I'm just super grateful"

There was no stopping him after this incredible #PokerHand and Busquet actually went on to win the 50K SHR tournament for €896,434 after a chop deal with his friend and protege @Daniel Colman.
