Level 13

Mike Thorpe: Q♦4♣J♣J♠8♠K♦K♣
Mike Thorpe got to seventh street in a heads-up pot against Chad Eveslage. Both players checked and Thorpe announced kings and jacks and someone at the table joked that "kicker plays" as Eveslage mucked.
"You mess with me, you get f***ed, or something. I dunno what to say," Thorpe said before a bit of friendly needling of the recent Dealer's Choice champion.
"Can you do me a favor and play a little better, Chad? I lost a little bit of respect for you. No, I'll always respect you. How could I not? You're an ultra-super-pro. You're in a class of your own."
