Start-of-day chip leader Shahaf Hadaya might be contemplating folding pocket kings the next time they are dealt to him, as the hand just doesn't seem to be working out for the player from Israel.
Just now came another instance in which cowboys failed Hadaya. With the board showing 
and a decent pot having already developed, Hadaya checked, then Gordon Huntly bet 45,000. Hadaya — holding

, and after the 
turn and 
river, Hadaya had lost yet another big pot with K-K.
"That's four times I've had kings today," said Hadaya with a grin. "I've lost three." We've caught three of those hands, seeing him split a pot once with K-K earlier against Koon and now lose two big ones.
He continued to smile, though, seemingly unflustered by his misfortune during the first level-and-a-half today.
