"How About Kings?!"

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Donna Gadd

Donna Gadd opened to 10,000 on the button and Steve Wilkie three-bet to 30,000 in the big blind. Gadd quickly called.

"Wow! No Hesitation!" said Wilkie as the flop came {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. "Check," he added. Gadd quickly slid forward all of her chips.

"You hit that bloody queen, didn't you?!" Wilkie exclaimed. "Can I get a count?"

The dealer broke down Gadd's stack and totaled it to be 92,000 as Wilkie stood up to further ponder his decision.

"If you have ace-queen, I'm ahead. If you have pocket queens, I'm dead. Well, not dead - I put you on pocket queens before the flop, too!" continued Wilkie. "Would you do that with ace-queen? You might."

Eventually, Wilkie found a call: "Show me the queens!" he said as he tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Gadd let out a roar of laughter, showing {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} of her own: "How about Kings?!" she said, bringing about even more laughter from both players. The runout {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs} brought about the chop, with both players laughing their way through congratulating one another on a nice hand before chopping the pot.

Moments later, Wilkie was seen collecting the stack of Greg Geller with his ace-queen still displayed to beat Geller's king-jack and eliminate Geller from the tournament. Geller's elimination brings the field down to 18 players with two full tables remaining in play.
