Jennifer Tilly
Actress and poker player Jennifer Tilly took one of the tougher beats the poker world has seen in a while.
Tilly tweeted a photo Sunday afternoon that showed her losing a pot to Bob Bright where her quad 10s went up in flames against Bright’s jack-high straight flush for a pot worth at least $160,000.
“Not my day: quads vs. straight flush,” .
While the stakes were not mentioned in the social media post, it was clear just from the size of the stacks in play that it was nosebleed stakes. Bright had four, brown $25,000 denomination chips in his stack and it appeared that the yellow, $1,000 denomination chips were commonplace in the game. The game took place at the Wynn poker room in Las Vegas.
Based on the board texture, it’s likely that all of the chips didn’t get into the middle until the river, but it’s safe to assume that money went in on earlier streets given the strength of Tilly’s hand. The photo didn’t show the chips in the pot already, so the total size of the pot remains unknown.
Despite the cooler, one commenter thought that Tilly should’ve been able to get away from middle set on the flop.
