the Thunder Bay

In Texam hold'em, a 2-7 offsuit in the first draw that ends up winning is called a Thunder Bay. Played with fervor in the northern Ontario capital, many a game has been one by a lucky bluffer holding a 2-7 offsuit hand.

Big Gay Al has the two of clubs and the seven of diamonds, lures in a couple of bets, goes all in when he sees the flop that includes a two and seven, then ends up beating pocket aces with a two pair or potentially a full house.
