the hand is most definately FAKE. people would be losing there minds all over the chat box and flaming Stars on several online forums as well. I just have not seen or heard a single word on this kind of hand anywhere. people would be using it as an example of online poker being rigged for sure and there has been nothing new on the topic for a while now.

Real or not there's only one hand that can win and hopefully everyone recognizes the hand that did. I haven't read any comments that pertain to the winning hand here so what does everyone see as the winning hand? You know it's not a Fullhouse or the four jacks so what?

I dont think this is true. Someone had some spare time and decided to make this. Just imagine what would be the chances of such a hand to be dealt. Not once in a lifetime. Well, maybe, if you are Highlander

Sure, it looks like a fake, or a hand out of a movie, but with the billions of hands played, even something unlikely like this setup will happen sometimes somewhere.

I think this picture is fake because of low quality of picture.. but like shokaku said... Even if there is billions of possible combinations of so many cards dealed exactly like this, only on PokerStars were played like 90 billions of hands, so there is big probability that something like that could happened already

Posted by fcumred: Not a cat in hells chance that hand is real. Its as fake as the 5 aces hand that did the rounds a few years ago.
Certainly where I would lay my money.
However - if this hand DID every take place, poker stars is where it would happen, what are they doing now, 90 Billion hand promo or something? Certainly that's a sample size that would include plenty of pretty wild hands.. And what is more, if a hand like this DID happen - then in all likely hood, somebody would definitely take a screenshot.
So.. I think 99.9% chance it's fake, but a very slim chance it's real, simply because it is possible and if it was to happen, then poker stars is most likely where it would happen.

I like it. It would suck to have any of the losing hands. I would like to know what the odds are on getting a hand like this. I don't think this is real.

I think an exact play out of that hand (excluding of course suits and player position) WOULD happen given enough of a sample size. 90 billion hands is certainly enough hands for that hand to be real and like jess said, when it happened, you can guarantee someone would screeny it.

Don´t think that this hand is for real. Looks like a nice russian fake Can´t imagine that the cards will come this, but who knows. Would like to know the odds for this.
