Breaking the Kings Curse

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The table was excited to retell the story of how Orville Schlosser had lost with pocket kings to pocket aces three times and he still had a decent stack.
During this conversation a hand unfolded with action on the flop of 1027 and a built pot of about 25,000. The player in the big blind made a bet of 75,000 and Chris Barbeisch was in the cutoff and moved all in for 93,000. The big blind was pot committed and called.

Chris Barbeisch: KK All in
Big blind: QQ

The turn came with the 10 and the river came with the 9 and kings held. The table could not help themselves to tease Schlosser and someone said, "Now that is how you play kings", which elicited laughter.
