Standard

It doesn't matter if you've got 3,000 or 6,000, if you get aces versus kings in late position, then there's always a chance that the chips are going in. I'm not sure if was preflop or post-flop, but when I joined the table, two players had those hands on their backs on a {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} board.

The kings victim (a local player that I recognise from the Vic) rose from his seat and began waving down a taxi, but after an {8-Diamonds} turn, the river came the {K-Spades} to double him through.

His opponent, meanwhile, tried to maintain composure whilst nonchalantly asking "How much is it?" but a few moments later that stoic expression inevitably turned sour.
