What's your most memorable winning hand ?

Here's mine:
After going back and forth heads up with someone for a while, the
blinds were getting really high... both of our stacks were around the
same size, so after getting ( 4, 4 ) I decided to make a considerable
bet pre-flop and try to take the blinds, or at least try for an
unexpected 3-of-a-kind if a 4 comes up on the flop. He quickly called.

The flop shows ( A, 4, 4 ). I check - mainly because I am shocked, and
can't believe my eyes - and the other guy quickly goes all in. I
called, and he flips ( A, A )... thinking he won with a full house. I
show my four-of-a-kind, and he nearly tips the table over.

We counted the chips, and we had the EXACT same amount. Crazied win I
have ever had.

I don't think there will be many more stories that will beat that one.
Nice play.

Pretty much the exact same thing with me. I was playing a cash game at
the Rack one night. About an hour in, I was up to 140 in chips, after
starting with 20. I get ( 9, 9 ) and raise. One other player, who has
me well covered, calls. Flop: 9 J 9. Luckily I was looking down at the
floor when I realized what was on the table, and checked. He bet 50. I
called. Turn came a rag. I bet 50, he puts me all-in and I immediately
called him. He flips ( J - J ) and announces his full house. I look at
him, and calmly say "I flopped four 9's." This brings the house down in
a cry of celebration. Never forget that one.
