Damm Delivers on Monster Draw

[user67765]
[user67765]
A hand that was recalled to us by David Saab has got his table into a heated discussion about the mathematics and odds of the hand in question.

Warwick Mirzikinian started the action with a raise from early position to 900 with Saab and Kenneth Damm making the call.

The flop fell {A-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} and Damm checked to Mirzikinian who fired 900. Saab then popped it to 2,600 before Damm check-raised to 8,000. This forced Mirzikinian to fold but Saab moved all in with Damm making the call for his tournament life.

Saab was in front with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} but Damm tabled a monstrous {5-Spades}{7-Spades} for straight and flush draws.

The {2-Clubs} hit the turn to give Damm his straight and a double up as the river bricked.

Following the hand, the players were arguing with Saab complaining about a bad beat as Damm defended himself by stating that he was a favorite when the money went in on the flop. Saab disagreed and this sparked Sam Korman to pull out a calculator and he worked out that Damm was actually a 51% favorite. Saab still wasn't convinced, claiming that his calculator was also wrong!

Saab is down to 22,000 with Damm up to 39,000.
