The "King" Won't Be Sending Niall Farrell Any Oysters Anytime Soon

Armand "Oyster King" King raised to 2,500,000 on the button. Niall Farrell was in the big blind and three-bet to 6,600,000. King moved all in for 17,000,000 and Farrell called.

Farrell tabled , and King let out a shriek as he revealed . Nonetheless, King was in good spirits and asked the dealer to "peel it slowly!"

The board ran out and the King's deep run in this event came to an end.

King appears to be well-known in these parts, sporting a plethora of Playground Poker Club gear with his nickname "Oyster King" professionally stitched into it. His hat is also lined with shiny sequins, but most importantly he is always sporting a giant smile on his face with a clear love for this game.

King's total live earnings add up to a little over $43,000, and his biggest cash was in August 2016 when he finished as the runner-up in the $170 No Limit Hold'em Quantum event right here at Playground for a whopping CA$33,000, beating out 984 runners, but falling to Canada's own Jiachen Gong (CA$50,000).

Off the felt, King is an Oyster grower in Bedec Bay, New Brunswick. He founded the company 'Village Bay', which sells seafood products. His son has since taken over, but his love for both Oysters and the game of poker seem to be on similar levels.
