Joel's on a Roll

They say you've got to win those coin flips (I'm sure exactly who "they" is, incidentally), and such was the case for Joel Bidnick when he came up against a similar sized stack with {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} versus {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. On this occasion, however, the coin was winking at Bidnick as the board came {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to deliver him a timely, and crucial pot.

"I think I have exactly fifty," he claimed as he slid his stack into the middle.
