Are you ready for one of the more unique showdowns of all time?

Showdown
Fox: {j-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Augdal: {7-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}

If Fox could fade a three, five, seven, or eight, he would double with jack-high. The river was the {3-Diamonds} however, and Fox was eliminated from the tournament.

The entire table was quite perplexed after the hand, especially Kunimaro Kojo and Bill Perkins. Kojo shot out of his seat when the cards were tabled, and Perkins couldn't stop saying, "What?"
