After this miraculous runner-runner, Olivier Busquet managed to outlast all other final tablists to become the winner of the 2014 EPT Barcelona €50,000 Super High Roller. He walked away with a whopping €896,434. Sven Reichardt came in 6th place for €225,500.
This wasn’t a comeback or outplaying anyone. This was an incredible amount of luck that resulted in a player making a poor decision taking out a player who played well.
I've played in person tournaments and online garbage. Many online players know that this isn't an uncommon thing in online poker but to have this happen in person is so rare. I'd probably cry
@JediNxf7 technically it does matter. Aces are more likely to be played, esp in tournaments.. so you can partly assume that the aces are still in the deck
I once needed a "6" to get a straight for a huge tournament win. The dealer, a volunteer, forgot to burn (discard) a card before giving us the last card. It was a 6. My opponent complained and the dealer corrected their mistake. And then the correct card was...a 6. Craziest ending I've ever had.
@dr shafayat LOL I never knew how to pronounce his last name but if your name is Forest and your last name starts with a "D" (I think) then maybe it was you! You'd have beat me in a middle school ping pong tournament in PE though so let's call it even:p
Very similar thing happened to me in a tournament few weeks back. aa in the cutoff, utg J4o and JJ calls. Push, 2 callers J42 rainbow, running aces, knocked them both out. First big runner runner I ever hit.
being a fellow hold em player. I've hit someone with a bad beat like that before. and when it happens. it takes your breath away. in my experience the anxiety of just winning the hand like that almost made me sick
This actually happened to me in a cash game. I was the one with pocket 7... almost hit him dead.. he literally hits the only two cards runner runner.. I flipped out and left.. I couldn't handle it.. it was like a 3k pot too.. wow..
Busquet is my hero 😁 I never get tired of watching him put an arrogant little jerk in his place and winning the WPT championship.♥️♥️♥️ Biggest comeback ever in WPT .
Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly how you're supposed to act when sucking out as a huge underdog. Class and professionalism as always, thank you Olivier Busquet
@Scott O'Shea I did some excel work for him & he gave me a couple days of coaching in return.Still talk to him every once in awhile, he's such a great sport & really an all-around insanely smart individual & good person
I had an 85 yr old man talk shit to me at the table after he sucked out like that twice i a row qq vs jj two hands later jj vs 1010 he turn rivered me twice. Both times gettin all his money in before being sucked out. Then talked shit and try to provoke me lol.
Something same happend to me. I had AA and went allin. Opponent called with AJ. Flop 2, 5, 8 of spades. I m holding A of spades he has J of hearts. 3 Jacks in deck but he has only 2 outs. Turn Jack of Diamants river Jack of Clubs. Absolut tilter !
I don't know how anything that requires this much luck can be called a "comeback". The Red Sox coming back from 0-3 down to win the final 4 games against the Yankees is a comeback. Brady leading the Patriots from 4 TD's down to beat the Falcons is a comeback. This hand of poker was nothing but pure luck. No skill involved. This is not a comeback.
When you got the Cowboys and you're in a position like that and the guy cross the tables flops those Aces on the turn and the river it's an absolute nightmare worst case scenario LOL for the guy who's got the Kings
I actually did this a week ago whilst playing poker with five friends n even I couldn't believe I pulled it off. But alas we were only using plastic chips n not real money. LOL! 😁😆
This happens to me. I got Jack, and 3 all clubs. Idk what my friend card are, and he goes all in. I mean I got Jack so why the hell not... Everybody is folding. We show our card. He got two kings lol. I was like okay, I still got a chance. The flop open and it's another kings, a jack, and 10. He was laughing all over the place, and the other is like "oooh" And shit. The only chances I win is, I needed to get flush, full house or a quad. The kings are a clubs, so I got that chance to get flush. Next card open and it's jack of spades. So... No flush, but I got three of a kind, still gonna lose. Next card open and you can guess it... I guess not. It's a 10 he get full house, I got full house... But I lost lol. Crazy thing is. The card that got closed is all 3 lmao... Fuck my life🤣
In the first 2- sec I thought it's Ryan Reynolds. But he also looking serious. I thought he might be really into the game. Then again seeing his face I realised it's someone else 😂😂
@Nathan the faster people get knocked out of tournaments the faster they buy into another one and they get another fee. Not too hard to get to that conclusion lol
Well he had a 32% equity to win the hand and he got it, the run out made it more exciting indeed, and i guess he went to win the whole thing if im not mistaken
When that guy says "so your saying there's a chance?" Made me think of dumb and dumber when Jim Carrey says the same things after the girl tells him the chance of them being together is one in a million!!!!😂😂😂😂

He got almost OOFED
The most rigged card shuffler ever bro seriously I would’ve puked 🤮 at the table literally
"So you're saying there's a chance!"
One word… “fate” 😅
Clearly the poker gods were fucking around.
This wasn’t a comeback or outplaying anyone. This was an incredible amount of luck that resulted in a player making a poor decision taking out a player who played well.
Lmao poker is mostly luck
id like to play poor and win everything, played well and lose ? yeah still loser,
This is me every tournament I've ever been in with pocket kings LOL
the 6.8k likes on this comment are badkids lolololol
In a tournament you have to play aggressive or you’ll bleed out. A2S is a good hand to swing for the fences with if you running low which he was.
Anyone who plays poker for money feels that last ace hit physically in their chest
Yup I for sure would have been spazzing out in the car after leaving.
The worst feeling ever
It’s not even enjoyable to watch. Just increases one’s fury with the game.
@Damon Young yeah of course online when you can go through 1000s of hands your bound to see everything but live is a whole different animal.
I've played in person tournaments and online garbage. Many online players know that this isn't an uncommon thing in online poker but to have this happen in person is so rare. I'd probably cry
Damn that was epic from 1% chance of winning turn to 100% in an instant draw
Like certain guy said 1% chance is low but not zero
Does it matter whether it's conditional for them to be back to back (ignoring the burn card)?
Who cares
Poker is game of luck
Yes there is a great amount of skill
But it is a still a game of chance
People seem to forget that
@JediNxf7 technically it does matter. Aces are more likely to be played, esp in tournaments.. so you can partly assume that the aces are still in the deck
Like certain guy said?
its waaayyyyy less than 1 percent
I don't know why but the look on his face when the ace hit the table was just priceless 😂😂😂
@Brodyca 189 it's tournament chips
Both of em 😅
If I just lost 1.5 mill from that I would throw up
I woulda thrown up😂
He knows he just sucked out and he played it classy. He knows not to say a word, especially after runner runner 😂

And I was the looser🤔
@Mehmet Fatih Yilmaz Um...yeah...are you unaware how charity events work? I didn't say I was on the world poker tour. Calm down and stay in your lane
huge tournament and the guy dealing the final hand is a volunteer... yeah sure why not... and I was the referee at the last super bowl :)
Very similar thing happened to me in a tournament few weeks back. aa in the cutoff, utg J4o and JJ calls. Push, 2 callers J42 rainbow, running aces, knocked them both out. First big runner runner I ever hit.

I'm shocked how unaltered they all were with that second ace... Lmao wtf I would've jumped my sit and scream lol
@Meth0z And they also have lots of experience playing and may have seen runner-runner outs quite a few times already.
Luck is a part of gambling, but this crazy luck is nothing but disgusting
@4Dempsey yeah true.. They have freaking nerves of steel!! LMAO
I love how Olivier Busquet doesn't even seem happy. He's probably disgusted with that amount of luck, even if it's his luck.
That is sickening
He is actually a Stoic. It is a valuable life philosophy though admittedly not a popular one for the modern day.
@Joel a little worse than 2:1, wtf are you talking about. He needed a runner runner.
@혜밍웨이 ㅋ
If I was hi I'd feel a little bad tbh. That kind of luck is like a kick in the nuts to the loser. 🤯
Dude..I physically jumped up after that second ace
This actually happened to me in a cash game. I was the one with pocket 7... almost hit him dead.. he literally hits the only two cards runner runner.. I flipped out and left.. I couldn't handle it.. it was like a 3k pot too.. wow..
Busquet is my hero 😁 I never get tired of watching him put an arrogant little jerk in his place and winning the WPT championship.♥️♥️♥️ Biggest comeback ever in WPT .
Es muy raro que siempre haya esas "jugadas" de suerte. Muy difícil que pase en la vida real
Muita habilidade
Reichardt took it like a champ. Didn't celebrate after the flop, didn't flinch after the turn and smiled after the river. What a guy.
Always a good lesson that, no matter how well you play, luck can always beat it, so don’t get over-confident
Truly insane...only genuine poker players will understand 😃👏👏👍
Ladies and gentlemen, this is exactly how you're supposed to act when sucking out as a huge underdog. Class and professionalism as always, thank you Olivier Busquet
@Shaquille OatMeal you're right. I'd have to fight to keep from vomiting at the table.
FACTS
@Scott O'Shea I did some excel work for him & he gave me a couple days of coaching in return.Still talk to him every once in awhile, he's such a great sport & really an all-around insanely smart individual & good person

@gamblingbuddha wow, that's awesome. Was he your coach or did you just know the right questions to ask?
That is EXACTLY how you celebrate winning like that, hats off to you sir!
That was absolutely insane!
*Based on his celebration, I can confirm this guy is really fun at parties.*
The lack of reaction is why I love this.
Flopping a full house then watching it fall apart brick by brick is one of the most depressing things I swear..
@Black Game how would there be a river card of opponent folded on the flop?
@Rob G how would there be a river card if opponent folded on the turn?
@Black Game he folded after the turn cuz he thought the opponent had a 4
@Teacher Blake I had 10/9 lastnight and on the flop was a 9 and the river and turn 10 / 9 I only had 100$ tho to go all in
My worst bad beat i had aa opponent 88 cards were akj88
Bringing "How the cards have changed" into a whole new perspective.
Esto demuestra que hasta con 1%a tu favor nunca te rindas por qué ese 99% nunca quiere decir que tengas las cosas ganadas 🙏🙏
Literally almost impossible wow! That was crazy
That literally happened to me my 21st birthday 1st time at a poker table...and I had the KK ...I was so damn mad
His facial expressions are telling that even he can't believe the river. 😂
This is how a true pro should react when getting lucky.
He looked up at the end to say thank you to the poker gods.
How anyone thought they had a chance after watching that is crazy to me lol
Something same happend to me. I had AA and went allin. Opponent called with AJ.
Flop 2, 5, 8 of spades. I m holding A of spades he has J of hearts. 3 Jacks in deck but he has only 2 outs. Turn Jack of Diamants river Jack of Clubs.
Absolut tilter !
His reaction to that miracle that just happened though … savage .. Barely cracked a fuckin smile
This is literally me (the guy with the kings) everytime someone calls my all in. 😭
I like his humble behavior 😊👍🏼
This is a tilter right there. Man I would feel sorry for my opponent really.
Oliver couldn't even help but being disgusted by that hand.
I woulda flipped that whole table over 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He believed in the heart of the cards 🤣
I don't know how anything that requires this much luck can be called a "comeback".
The Red Sox coming back from 0-3 down to win the final 4 games against the Yankees is a comeback.
Brady leading the Patriots from 4 TD's down to beat the Falcons is a comeback.
This hand of poker was nothing but pure luck. No skill involved. This is not a comeback.
The odds of that are almost exactly 1/1000.
But to still have enough luck to win the tournament afterwards is pretty sick.
This is what we call skills 😅
When you got the Cowboys and you're in a position like that and the guy cross the tables flops those Aces on the turn and the river it's an absolute nightmare worst case scenario LOL for the guy who's got the Kings
I actually did this a week ago whilst playing poker with five friends n even I couldn't believe I pulled it off.
But alas we were only using plastic chips n not real money. LOL! 😁😆
I like how Busquet all in like he already saw the future damn what game
I can only imagine if this happened to Phil Hellmuth.
That would be the most funny thing on internet ever 🤣
"he move all in with A2 suited honey"
LMFAOOO
@Justin Sims I know, honey.
I think he’d be going to jail for whatever he did!
I woulda been sick to my stomach with that lucky river. Crazy hand tho💰
That's gotta be the wildest hand I've ever seen. Imagine flopping a full house and not winning... I'd be tight ngl
the way he looked up at the end like "thanks big man"
Class acts how they handled it, both of them.
OMG the comback of the century
Gut wrenching for the other guy That’s devastating
I don't call that a comeback. I call that a lucky draw on a risky hand
That would be my luck for the whole year. I would cash out after that hand.
Men the amount of luck that hit him on the chest he couldn't even manage a smile🔥🙆
Dude is an old soul.. very humble win
There wasn’t a
I have never seen a draw this lucky on the last two cards
He feels bad for that pull he knew he shouldn't have won and is probably sick to his own stomach with the luck
"Great television" and the disgust on his face seem to be saying "it is fixed"
I would’ve knocked all that shit ova 😂😂😂
I respect him sooo mcuh for not jumping out of his own skin with that cooler!🙌
looks like he used all the luck in his lifetime in this round
Busquet looked like he was going to be sick after that last Ace came out
This is literally the sickest hand Ive ever seen happen in a tournament now fml
It doesn’t matter how good your opponents plays, so as long as you believe in the heart of the Cards...you will win pol
This happens to me. I got Jack, and 3 all clubs. Idk what my friend card are, and he goes all in. I mean I got Jack so why the hell not... Everybody is folding. We show our card. He got two kings lol. I was like okay, I still got a chance. The flop open and it's another kings, a jack, and 10. He was laughing all over the place, and the other is like "oooh" And shit.

No flush, but I got three of a kind, still gonna lose. Next card open and you can guess it... I guess not. It's a 10 he get full house, I got full house... But I lost lol. Crazy thing is. The card that got closed is all 3 lmao... Fuck my life🤣
That's escalated from 0 to 100 real quick
Curse on that dealer. The fact that he HAD to turn and river aces is beyond disgusting.
Even if your not good at all in this game but you know the better cards you can feel this real hard
This is my poker life story!! Since 2003
his soul left his body when that last ace showed up..🤣...
I have no clue what happened but it looked like an insane amount of luck
Dude looked to the heavens at the end. Somebody helped out.
This is why poker is life’s greatest metaphor
Props to Busquet for staying quiet.
The face he kept was the best part. How do they do that
If anyone's looking for a possible soul being sold for a poker career or a win I believe here's the proof!!!🤣😂😂
They've all been to the crossroads.
It does look like a " Crossroads ," moment !
That shove bluff was the worst one I’ve ever seen, no wonder he called it.
So sick I've been on both sides of these type of hands either way it feels gross
Everyone: Epic comeback!!
Me: has no idea what going on
That's what happened when you trust the heart of the card
Look at Reichadt's reaction though. "What can you do but have a wry smile?"
Damn, that was sick! Runner A2!
They handled it well
In the first 2- sec I thought it's Ryan Reynolds. But he also looking serious. I thought he might be really into the game. Then again seeing his face I realised it's someone else 😂😂
Unreal. I have only seen this one other time when I play live
Would have been even funnier if the 2 8s came!
That happened to me once… I had 99 and flopped J9J, my opponent goes all in and I snap. He showed K9. Turn and river we’re J J … terrible way to lose
Unless someone folded an ace, that'd be even harder! WOW
Absolutely insane
This is actually crazy😂😂😂
I don't even play poker, even this is amazing
Wow 😆 heartbreaker
Busquet with the Stockton slap 🖐
I used to see something like this on PokerStars every day.
@Nathan the faster people get knocked out of tournaments the faster they buy into another one and they get another fee. Not too hard to get to that conclusion lol
Every 3 hands lmao
@Nathan people tilted and play more tournaments or play bigger buy-in tournaments. so this means pokerstars make more money.
@Nathan The same random card generater that’s used in tournaments is also used in the cash games. It’s rigged for action meaning higher house rakes.
Agree, that’s why I quit online poker, bad beat all day 🙃
I just keep re watching thinking every possible reaction he must be having in his head Cx
He knew he's a time traveler
Lol that flop made him so sick he couldn’t be happy at the end when he won.
Well he had a 32% equity to win the hand and he got it, the run out made it more exciting indeed, and i guess he went to win the whole thing if im not mistaken
When that guy says "so your saying there's a chance?" Made me think of dumb and dumber when Jim Carrey says the same things after the girl tells him the chance of them being together is one in a million!!!!😂😂😂😂
Yes that’s where the saying comes from
I would have flipped the table lol
He used all the luck of his life for this.
Bro just take a whole life luck on that Double Ace
