24 Jul Watch The Insane Moment This Poker Player Wins A Cool $8 Million Despite Almost Impossible Odds

There is something undeniably alluring about risking everything.

There’s a small voice in the back of our head whispering, making us believe that we, against all odds, will be the lucky one. Perhaps it’s some kind of messiah complex, some scatter-brained yet steadfast belief that circumstances will conspire to work in our favour; but the casino, and its seductively tantalising nature holds something of a gravitational pull over some of us.

This is, of course, what makes gambling such a lucrative industry, capable of king-making and bankrupting with the roll of a dice. Walk into a casino and you will observe the full spectrum of human emotion, from triumph to destitution, from hope to despair. Most of the time, the house wins; the odds are stacked, quite literally, in its favour, and however compelling the voice in your head is, as it urges you to place everything on black in one fell spin of the roulette table, logic and reason would suggest that it is, sadly, mistaken.

What about poker, though, where players can claim to have some modicum of control over their fate? It is a game of nuance, in which players display great skill and powers of observation on their way to victory. Indeed, on Saturday night, the World Series of Poker concluded, with millions at stake, with a highly dramatic final hand.
