King Cracks Kings

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action picked up on the flop of {4-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}, but preflop action replayed courtesy of Ronald Minnis.

After Ronald Minnis min-raised to 24,000 and a player called in middle position, action folded around to Josh King, and he made the call from his big blind. King checked the flop, Minnis continued for 45,000 and the middle-position player shoved for 101,000.

With action back on King, he thought for about 30 seconds before four-bet shoving for his last 289,000, which sent Minnis, who had both players easily covered, deep into the tank. After a least a minute Minnis stated that he wanted to call so badly, but instead folded his hand {j-Spades}{9-Spades} face up and the two remaining players tabled their hands.

Middle-Position Player: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Josh King: {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

King's flopped two pair held against the middle-position player's overpair on the {8-Clubs}{7-Spades} runout. Of course Minnis couldn't help but notice that he would have rivered the flush with the straight kicker and scored a double knockout if he had made the call
