The title of this article is part of a quote from Aaron Jones reacting to a hand between Scott Seiver and Tobias Reinkemeier (pictured) that you can watch by clicking here. It occurred during the World Series of Poker’s Big One for One Drop coverage on ESPN on Tuesday night and set Twitter ablaze. In the hand, Seiver raised to 1.2 million before the flop with K-10 of spades and Reinkemeier, who had As-Ah, flat called.

The flop was 4-Q-2 with two clubs and Reinkemeier check-called a bet of 1.5 million. The turn was the Jc, putting three of the suit on board and giving Seiver an open-ender, and Reinkemeier checked. Seiver boldly shoved all-in for 6.8 million, about a pot-sized bet, and Reinkemeier announced, “Scott, I was trapping… [I have] the best starting hand in poker… With [a] club, I would have paid the bet off already.”

A considerable amount of banter ensued, with Seiver acting very casually and Reinkemeier trying to talk himself into calling. However, he had no club and after about two minutes of jabbering, Reinkemeier said, “I wouldn’t normally fold this… Tough spot. It’s quite a big final table too.”

Daniel Negreanu, who was seated next to Reinkemeier, eventually called the clock, giving Reinkemeier one minute to act. Reinkemeier folded and, conveying the huge weight that had been lifted off his shoulders, Seiver yelled, “There’s no chance that’s aces,” pointing at his opponent’s mucked cards. Reinkemeier allowed the dealer to show his hand and Seiver reacted by showing the bluff. Others at the table looked at both hands in disbelief.

The hand elicited a lively reaction from the poker community watching at home. Talking about Seiver’s reaction to the win, Tony Bond18Dunst Tweeted, “Until I watched the Seiver(pictured) and Tobias hand, I’d never seen someone disgusted with their opponent for letting them win the pot.”

Peter Jetten added, “This Reinkemeier vs Seiver One Drop hand is one of the wildest moments in poker TV history, right?”

Also tuned in was Vanessa Selbst, who wrote on Twitter that Seiver’s shove made her day: “Golf, then amazing sushi, then watching @scott_seiver inspire absurd folds on TV #perfectday.” Fellow proDavid Williams called the hand “the best poker-related thing I’ve ever watched.”

Here was Jones’ full take of the hand, which we’d be amiss if we didn’t share:


Reinkemeier apparently tanked for over ten minutes in the hand. What did you think of the pot as it unfolded on TV and what do you think of the play overall? Let us know by commenting here.
