Stroke Slow Plays Kings and Wins Max

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Shawn Stroke
Shawn Stroke

Wei Zhang started the action with a raise to 4,000 and Shawn Stroke flatted on his left. Won Lee raised it up to 12,500 and Wei Zhang went all in for 47,500.

Stroke asked for a count and made the call once the accounting had been done. Lee folded.

Wei Zhang: QQ All in
Shawn Stroke: KK

Stroke had Zhang pipped and when the A10J rolled off the deck, he only had to dodge the other kings in the deck. When the board finished with the 5 and 5, he was awarded a healthy pot as Zhang left the tournament area.

"Thanks for the extra 10,000.", Stroke said to Lee as he stacked his chips.
