Arlie Shaban Faces Brutal One-Outer in Wildest Poker Hand of 2023

Participating in the $20 buy-in Sunset Series Sunday Saver, Arlie Shaban, a prominent member of the PokerStars Team Online, encountered an astonishing turn of events that seemed to favor him initially.

The scenario of set-over-set-over-set emerged as a potential game-changer for the well-known streaming personality. With a pair of jacks on the flop, he found himself up against opponents holding 8s and 3s, as well as pocket queens.

His path to a quadruple-up appeared almost inevitable, with only the slim chance of encountering a one-outer on both the turn and river threatening his victory.

Amid mounting excitement, which he rightfully felt, Shaban, a poker streamer on TwitchTV based in Toronto, could do nothing but witness in disbelief as the river card revealed the sole remaining 'snowman' in the entire deck.

In a state of astonishment, Shaban exclaimed:

"He actually hit quads? What in the world?" The shock left him momentarily at a loss for words. He then regained his voice, commenting, "That was utterly unbelievable!"

Adding another layer of unfortunate circumstance, Andrew “LuckyChewy” Lichtenberger was the individual to spot what had seemingly eluded everyone else:

Fortunately for Shaban, he hadn't landed a set of three on that specific board, which ultimately spared him from being eliminated from the game in a dual departure.
