Kings Full, Bro

When we reached Table 12, the board read {6-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Eugene Todd put out a bet of about 15,000, and an opponent made it 42,000 more. Todd had a pained look on his face as he tanked for a few moments, but he made the call.

His opponent opened up {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for just ace-high, and Todd tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} for kings full.

"You're my hero," one of the players at the table told the bluffer.
