Bob O'Mera raised to 7,000 from under the gun, leaving only 1,500 chips behind. A player in middle position made the call, leaving the players heads up to the flop.
The flop came A♥J♥Q♠ and O'Mera went all in and was called by his opponent.
Bob O'Mera: K♥K♦ 
Middle Position; 10♥10♦
O'Mera was relived to avoid seeing his opponent have an ace and would just need to fade a king to give his opponent a straight. The board ran out 7♠ on the turn and J♦ on the river, and his pocket kings were still best, securing the double up.

Hand started with a player opening from under the gun to 2,700. Dave Asaki was in middle position and made it 12,300. Greg Heath on the button called. Under the gun folded.
Before the flop was even dealt, Asaki announced that he is going all in and Heath also quickly said he’s going to call. Both players efficiently had their bets in the middle before the dealer started dealing out the flop, which came 9♣K♠8♦. At this point the players turned over their hands.
Dave Asaki: A♠A♣
Greg Heath: K♥K♦
Asaki was the player at risk and got an unfortunate flop. The turn was the 10♦. The river 10♥ gave Heath the full house and Asaki was sent packing.
The under-the-gun player, who had folded to the big three-bet and call preflop, said he had pocket tens and would have made quads by the river.

According to the players, Adrian Salta opened preflop from the button and Dan Borison defended the big blind.
The flop was 4♣3♥2♥. Borison check-raised Salta’s flop continuation bet, and Salta called.
The turn was the 3♦. Borison checked and called Salta’s 8,000-chip bet.
The river was the 4♠. After Borison checked, Salta grabbed a big stack of yellow 1,000 chips, 17 to be exact, and pushed them to the middle. Borison very quickly called. Salta turned over 9♦4♦ for the rivered full house and Borison mucked his hand. In line with the cheerful mood at the table, Borison noted: “I just didn’t believe you!” “Clearly!” replied Salta. Borison added that he had called him down with an ace.

The table was excited to retell the story of how Orville Schlosser had lost with pocket kings to pocket aces three times and he still had a decent stack.
During this conversation a hand unfolded with action on the flop of 10♠2♣7♦ and a built pot of about 25,000. The player in the big blind made a bet of 75,000 and Chris Barbeisch was in the cutoff and moved all in for 93,000. The big blind was pot committed and called.
Chris Barbeisch: K♦K♥
Big blind: Q♠Q♣
The turn came with the 10♥ and the river came with the 9♦ and kings held. The table could not help themselves to tease Schlosser and someone said, "Now that is how you play kings", which elicited laughter.
