Ward Gets Kings Again
Level 25
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Thomas Ward has won several big pots this tournament and it seems that he is holding pocket kings every time. On this hand, he got all in for his tournament life against Zhou Zhou.
Zhou raised to 60,000 preflop and Ward reraised to 155,000 on the button. Zhou then took a moment before he four-bet to 300,000. Ward hesitated only a little before he decided to shove all in. Zhou snap called and showed 
for the second time at the final table. The first time he had aces he doubled up off 9th place finisher Guoliang Wei, leaving him with barely two blinds.
Ward had what could be his favorite hand of the tournament, 
and was at risk. The board ran out 
and Ward flopped a set and stayed ahead to double up.
