King's Head on the Block

[user46392]

Crown traded in for cap

Zach King made it 29,000 under the gun, and Joe Tehan called from the small blind.

They saw a {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

flop and Tehan checked it. King fired out 37,000, and Tehan called.

The turn was a third diamond, in fact the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

, and this time Tehan bet out 45,000. King thought for a good long while, his face totally obscured beneath his baseball cap, before suddenly calling, as if afraid he might change his mind.

The river was the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

and Tehan bet 70,000, almost enough to put King all in. There was a short period of dwelling, before King folded his hand, leaving himself just 80,000.
