Two hands later, John Deckard, aka Johnny Q, shoved all in over a James Mordue raise. There was another shove over Q's and Mordue folded leaving Q heads up against aces. Q had and he was against .
"Come on put a six out there, just for sh*ts and giggles," said Q. The board ran out and when the hit the turn, Q cheered, as he made a straight.
