Kings for the Oyster King!
Level 20
: 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante
The player in the hijack raised to 400,000, and Armand "Oyster King" King three-bet to 1,400,000 on the button. Jean-Philippe Piquette was in the big blind and four-bet to 2,600,000. The hijack folded, and King moved all in for 6,885,000. Piquette called.
"You wanna run it twice?" asked King. The entire tabled laughed as King tabled 
. Piquette showed 
and had just three outs to pull ahead.
The flop came 
, giving King a full house and Piquette trip queens. There was just one queen left in the deck, but the turn was the 
and the river was the 
, giving King the double he was looking for.
