Phillip Krnyaich: 
The flop came 
to pair Krnyaich's queen, though he was still behind the kings of Charles. The board finished out

"It's kings every time! Just deal me kings one time," Krnyaich pleaded with the dealer.
Ben Scrogins opened to 900 in middle position and George Shenoda three-bet to 2,500 on the button. The action folded back to Scrogins, who called.

Players are on their first 15-minute break of Day 1a.
Lonaisi Charles limped in from under the gun and Phillip Krnyaich raised to 1,200 from the button. The big blind flat-called, while Charles quickly raised to around 4,000.
Both players folded, and Charles was kind enough to show he had it with 
.
Charles Wardlaw raised from the small blind and Norman Cummins defended from the big blind.
The flop came jack-high with two clubs on board and Wardlaw continued with a bet of 700. His opponent snap-raised all-in for around 23,000, which caught Wardlaw offguard.
"It's like how much into what?! Daaaayum!" Wardlaw observed. "What an overbet. And you've been playing so passive all day. Top pair no good?"
At this point in the hand, Wardlaw tabled 
face-up as he thought through his decision. Wardlaw, who played in the opening event a few days ago with a heap of cash in front of him, eventually folded his top pair before pulling out a shiny watch and golden card protector to up the intimidation factor.
"I need to let him know I'm gonna call next time!" said Wardlaw.
