We missed the early action on this hand due to the crush of railbirds surrounding the final table, but with the final board reading {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, Kevin Grabel led out for a sizable bet, only to see Adam Pace raise to 1.6 million.

Grabel shot out of his chair at the sight of the big bet, breathing heavily as he grabbed a handful of chips.

"I have trip twos..." he announced suddenly. "I call."

Pace could only grimace and recheck his cards before sliding them to the dealer, while Grabel celebrated with his fellow members of Team Kitten - a local poker crew - who are among the dozen or more people hovering directly over the final table.

"Kittens don't fold..." one of them told this reporter. "Write that down."
