Wow, nice.

When he layed his down did he say "All black"?

I had that happen to me at a home game once. Loved it.

Nope, I really think he believed his two pair was good. He was the kind of guy that would sit and chat through hands he wasn't playing, saying stuff like "He's gonna fold now, AK no good"... obviously thought he was god's gift to poker. I figured out that the easiest way to bust him would be to play the opposite of by-the-books poker and let Mr. Smarty chew on a hand he couldn't possibly predict. So at least once per orbit I would raise with some weird crap - low suited cards mostly, this time 68o - hoping he would call and I'd catch something he couldn't imagine me having. This one totally fit the bill. He was so convinced I was on high cards that he really thought that crap he had was going to walk.
