King's Head on the Block

Crown traded in for cap
Crown traded in for cap
Zach King made it 29,000 under the gun, and Joe Tehan called from the small blind.

They saw a {J-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} flop and Tehan checked it. King fired out 37,000, and Tehan called.

The turn was a third diamond, in fact the {10-Diamonds}, and this time Tehan bet out 45,000. King thought for a good long while, his face totally obscured beneath his baseball cap, before suddenly calling, as if afraid he might change his mind.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Tehan bet 70,000, almost enough to put King all in. There was a short period of dwelling, before King folded his hand, leaving himself just 80,000.
