King Shares Pot with Le

Zachary "ckingusc" King opened the pot from late position with a raise to 3,200. In the small blind, Nam Le stacked up a tower of chips and slipped in a reraise to 20,600. When it passed back to King, he moved all in for just a few thousand more.

Le called and showed down {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, and King frowned as he tabled {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The board would keep him from going broke though, running out {8-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {3-Clubs}. With two pair on the board, the pot is chopped in half, and no chips change hands.

Le certainly could have used the boost to his stack. With 35,000, he's just a bit below average. Le has another set of chips to tend to across the hall, as he also owns a spot in Day 2 of the $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha World Championship. He's a bit above average over there with 94,000, so we expect that he might nurse his stack over here at least until the bubble bursts.

Speaking of the bubble, we're just four spots from the money right now.
