Adams' Three Kings Flex Their Sovereign Right

Niveau 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the flop showing 10♥K♥5♠ Cam McKinley bet 6,400 from late position and Kristy Adams raised him 17,000 from the cutoff.

McKinley checked to Adams on the 9♣ turn and Adams assembled 30,000 in pink 5,000 chips and moved them forward. McKinley gave the proposition some thought, then folded, and Adams flashed him two kings.

McKinley then returned his attention to three cell phones he had sitting on the rail. "I'm triple-tabling. Quad tabling if I can get this third phone going," he said. "I usually make more playing cash at the table than I do in the tournament itself."

"If You Can't Bet You Can't Win"

Niveau 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Robert Williamson III in the hijack, another player on the button and one more in the big blind.

The flop rolled out 4♥9♦Q♥ and action checked to the button who bet 4,000 and only Williamson III called.

Action on the 8♦10♥ runout checked through and Williamson III said "if you can't bet, you can't win," before turning over K♥K♣J♥6♥6♣ for a king-high flush which was good for the pot.
