Hercules

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in The Giant known as “Hercules” has got off to a legendary start. He is sitting on a stack of 67,500 over three times the starting stack and covers his table which puts him a great position to bully and even lose a hand or two while remaining in great shape.
He eliminated a player recently in what he called, “The hand of the day so far.”

Hercules opened for 1,000 holding {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and called when his opponent moved all in with what turned out to be {6-}{6-}.

A dramatic run out of {7-}{7-}{k-}{6-}{7-} with the river riding to the rescue to give Hercules quads.

The "Twelve Labours" didn't include a summer schedule of events at the WSOP, perhaps there is room for one more.
