We found Brandon Meyers with a bet of 20,000, in front of him, enough to put his opponent all in with about 5,000 to spare on a board of . The player thought for a bit before ultimately laying his hand down, and Meyers slid his cards forward.
"Two kings good," Rob Wazwaz said casually.
Meyers flipped over before the dealer could sweep them up.
"I told you before I would show you if you guessed them," he said. "I'm an honest man."
Jason Zarlenga opened for 1,100 in the cutoff and saw Taylor Tollefson ship it for 11,025 from the small blind. Zarlenga called after thinking briefly, and the two were racing.
