Earlier in the day, I received a gift from StatikKling: a golden hammer pin. So in the evening when I was playing at a $5 SnG I was thinking that I should play the hammer at least once in honor of that pin. I did not get the hammer until late in the game in which I was heads up with another player which I had a 3.5 to 1 chip advantage over him. So when I saw the hammer (off-suit) at the small blind, I went all in thinking my opponent would fold. To my surprise, I got called and he flipped over K5 os. In the flop my opponent paired his 5, but the turn came a 7 and the river a 2: giving me two pair and the victory. I did scream ”The Hamma” when I won. It turns out that pin was lucky….I think.
