Two Hands with Thomas Koral

In the first hand, Thomas Koral raises to 72,000 under the gun and Gary Leibowitz re-raises to 282,000 on the button.

"TIlting a little?" says Thomas.

"I don't tilt because I don't play a lot of poker," says Gary. "I do get nauseous when I don't eat."

Eventually Thomas folds and Gary shows {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. He's up to 345,000.

Soon after that, Thomas moves all in and Gary calls short. Thomas has {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Gary has {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}. The board runs out {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and they chop it up.
