Charmed Life

On a flop of {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}, chip leader Gabriel Walls bet 3,500 after his lone opponent checked. That player called, prompting Walls to inquire how many more chips the player had (roughly 25,000).

Both players checked the {3-Diamonds} turn. Walls' opponent tried a bet of 3,600 on the {k-Spades} river but seemed to know he had blundered as soon as Walls called.

"I guess you've got a king," he said. And indeed, Walls opened {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for a pair of kings. That was the winning hand. Walls now has about 410,000 after a few small setbacks earlier.
