Deviating from the Mean

We've seen lots of statistical anomalies during this Main Event. With so many tables in action dealing so many hands, it's really not that unusual. So we weren't all that surprised to see {A-?} {A-?}, {K-?} {K-?} and {Q-?} {Q-?} all dealt on the same table in the same hand here in the Orange section. James Navolanic was the lucky player with aces, and his preflop betting action induced a fold out of the player with queens. That left Navolanic heads-up against pocket kings. His aces held to knock the player with kings out of the tournament.

Navolanic is up to 150,000.
