Greatest Poker Story Ever?

By Ed Brayton

I heard this story at a poker table recently. It's almost too good to be true, and since it was a second or third hand telling it may well not be. But if it's true, it's hilarious. The story goes like this:

A wealthy woman sits down at a poker table and also at the table is an obnoxious young kid who is talking shit to everyone and making everyone mad. At some point they get into a hand against one another where she has pocket queens and he has pocket jacks. The flop comes with both a queen and a jack in it, so they start raising back and forth. The pot keeps building (this is obviously a limit game or all the money would have gone in almost immediately).
