Indeed I did, at the time, although in retrospect it's hard to see how the guy would have played the hand the way he did with, say, 78s. Looked at with hindsight, one is nearly compelled to follow the Holmes dictum that, once all of the thing which are impossible are eliminated, one has to accept that the last option, however improbable, is the truth. But, at the time, I just thought that he had 'got lucky' with 78 (although, of course, this would have turned out to be unlucky).
