Adam Krach

A player bet 10,100 in the small blind after a {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, and a player in middle position called. Adam Krach made it 39,000 to go on the button, and only the middle player called. Krach fired his last 39,700 on the {a-Spades} turn, and his opponent folded fairly fast.

"When a Cowboy Raises You, He Probably Has Aces"

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We found "Cowboy" John Land and Gabriel Davis in a preflop showdown with their stacks in the middle. Land held {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Davis had {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The board ran {Q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Davis' queen in the window earned him a full double up.

Land shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's poker."

Another player at the table said, "When a cowboy raises you, he probably has aces."

Stybaniewicz Doubles

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Krzysztof Stybaniewicz shoved all in from the big blind for 15,900 after a player opened for a raise and got one caller. The middle-position opener called with {k-}{j-} but was way behind Stybaniewicz's {a-}{k-}. A king-high flop and brick turn and river gave the pot to Stybaniewicz, who last year won the WSOPC Main Event in Hammond for over $350,000.
