"Only in the Super Seniors"

A unique hand that might only be seen in this event was just recalled to PokerNews by Kelley Slay, Jonathan Lemone, and a few others at Table 86.

According to Slay, he opened to 55,000 from under the gun, and Lemone three-bet from middle position to around 175,000, leaving himself about a million behind. When the action got back to Slay, he slid out a stack of green chips, four-betting to roughly 550,000.

Lemone mistakenly thought Slay had put him all in and immediately shoved his entire stack into the middle before turning over KxKx.

With the most information possible, Slay now had a decision to make. Having already seen that Lemone held what was currently the second nuts, he needed to decide whether to commit another half-million chips.

Slay looked across the table and asked, "What do you think I'm going to do?" before making the call and turning over KxKx himself for the two remaining kings in the deck.

The table shared a laugh, and fortunately, there was no sweat on the runout, and the two players chopped up the blinds and antes.

After retelling the story, Slay jokingly remarked, "Only in the Super Seniors," which drew another laugh from those at the table.
