Cliff Josephy - Day 1a

Action folded around to the small blind player and he raised to 3,500. Cliff Josephy, who had his opponent well covered, moved all in from the big blind and the small blind called for his last 30,000. The players showed:

Josephy: {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

Opponent:

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

Josephy, in an attempt to be a nice guy, started to chant "king...king...king!" as the dealer ran the flop. There was no king as the flop came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

. Josephy caught up, and in a big way. The turn and river fell the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and

{J-Diamonds}

respectively and Josephy stacked the pot.

He climbed to just over 230,000 chips on the hand.
