Kings Serve Van Patten

A player raised to 2,000 (2.5x) from under the gun, and it folded around to Vince Van Patten who made it 5,000 from the button. The small blind thought for some time before letting it go, as did the big blind. The UTG player made the call.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Van Patten's opponent checked, he bet 6,000, and his opponent called. The turn came the {5-Hearts}, and both quickly checked.

The river was the {8-Spades}. Again, a check from Van Patten's opponent followed, and the former tennis pro who once beat John McEnroe leaned forward. He gathered some chips, then quickly looked up at his opponent. Finally, with what appeared a kind of resignation at not being able to make a bet, Van Patten rapped the table with his knuckles, indicating he was checking, too.

His oppenent tabled {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, and Van Patten showed {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. He moves to 106,000.
