After a flop of Jc5d2d, Howard Chilcutt got it all in from under the gun for 9,300 with QsQc, and he needed his hand to hold to stay alive against his opponent’s KhJh.

The turn card was the 10c, the river card was the Ah, and sixth street was the 2h.

Wait, what?

The dealer accidentally dealt out a sixth card on the board, but quickly caught his mistake and the players had a good laugh, saying the other player couldn’t even catch up on sixth street.

But whether the board was six cards or the regulation five, Chilcutt’s pocket queens held up for him to win the pot and double up in chips.

Howard Chilcutt  –  28,000  (70 bb)
