Home Game Tournament. 8 people left. 4 spots pay. BB is relatively short-stacked, but everyone else has plenty of chips compared to the blinds. Players are playing tight as can be, nobody wants to make a move.
I'm first to act with 10-10. I raise 3x the BB, standard. MP pushes all in. LP, just barely the largest stack at the table, pushes all in. The Button thinks for a minute or two and then calls the all-in (for all of his chips). The (somewhat shortstacked) BB calls for all of his chips. With all of this craziness, I decide to muck my pocket tens.
The players show...
MP has AK hearts
LP has AA
Button has KK
BB has AK
"Holy Shit." Someone says... "Whoa, all of the kings and all of the aces are out... the Aces Win.... Everyone else is drawing dead!" Argument ensues, and someone points out that the pocket Kings are dead, but that a straight is still possible.
Flop comes Q hearts J hearts 4 spades.
"Holy Shit. Sorry... a ten makes a straight. Any heart makes a flush... and a ten of hearts is a royal flush!"
Turn comes a blank. (non-heart 3)
I say "Well, I mucked two tens... One was red, but I don't remember the suit...."
River is... a TEN OF SPADES.
MP and BB split the main pot.
UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE HAND.
