The turn is the Q of diamonds but you don’t care, your opponent has gone all in and you have hit the call button with your spare pinky whilst waltzing around the room with your laptop and dog in toe.

The river is the two of hearts and you mentally shove your King Quads into your opponents face "IN YOUR FACE FLUSHMAN!"...BUT THEN... you feel this morning’s omelette paying you a return visit as they turn over Jd 10d, the Royal Banana, and your hopes and dreams of fortune are drowned in a sea of unfairness!

Get turned over, sucked out on or beaten into a pulp by a luck-box after getting your chips in the middle and we will refund your entry to soothe the carpet burn!
