One of the coolest online poker hands of all time | Poker Bonus Club Marawa

This week one of the coolest online poker hands ever was dealt on Full Tilt Poker. ‘Sauce1234′ and ‘AAROOKIE’ played on a $40/$80 No Limit Hold’em 6-max table and both had very deep stacks. ‘Sauce1234′ who’s real name is Ben Sulsky, started the hand with $33,739 and ‘AAROOKIE’ (real name Dylan Vensamik) had $42,479. This means the effective stacks were 421 big blinds. After a while in the session, the following hand came up:

From what I’ve read on a forum is that AAROOKIE almost snap called the river. We can try and analyse this hand, but that seems to be a useless exercision. These guys probably have a lot of history together and think on an entirely other level than your average poker player. If you would like to see the hand visualized, head over to PokerTableRatings.
