who said stars wasn't rigged?
I had been hit badly a couple hands earlier and didn't have enough left to get the blinds to fold. My only hope was the big stack would take out the middle stack. Unfortunately, he folded to the mid stack's small river bet like a donk. So I was on my own.
Watch what happenened next...
