Cold as Ice deck

I’ve been talking a lot about cold decks over here. But yesterday I saw a movie on the internet which possibly shows the sickest cold deck in poker history (if we’re talking about the poker that has been broadcasted of course, I’m not talking about the days where players had their gun next to them while playing the game). Watch what happened on Speed Poker:

So it’s the Dutch player Noah Boeken from Amsterdam who wakes up with pocket cowboys, Marek Kolk from Estonia ALSO has pocket Kings and then… Jethro (LOVE that name btw) Horowitz from Australia got the pocket Aces. Now that’s exactly why it’s called a ‘cold deck’: somebody almost HAD to set this up to happen. Now, like the commentator already indicates, Jethro makes one little mistake here by immediately calling the reraise with his Aces. If there’s a really good player behind him, that player must be able to lay his Kings down there. However, still very cruel for Noah and Marek…
