"Isn't this what they call poker karma?"

"Isn't this what they call poker karma?"
Celebrating a win too early rarely ends well. Nicoletta Shea proved that rule on one of the recent Hustler Casino Live streams. And the video of karma in action has already racked up nearly 1.5 million views.

In the middle of a $100/$200 blinds game, Shea moved in her last $19,500 preflop with 10♦️10♥️. The bet was called by a player under the nickname "AI Guy" with pocket queens and by Mariano with A♦️Q♦️.

On the 3♥️10♣️J♠️ flop Nicoletta hit a set and immediately started celebrating, getting up from the table. That left the other players puzzled. Meanwhile, AI Guy bet $30,000 and Mariano folded.

The turn brought the 7♦️, keeping Shea in front. But the river came the Q♠️, which gave AI Guy the pot. Nicoletta's mood changed instantly, and commentator David Tuchman asked a rhetorical question: "Isn't this what they call poker karma?"

Nicoletta Shea left the game for good, losing $29,800 over the session. The biggest profit was posted by the player under the nickname "Dumbledore" — $389,200.
