Affleck's Cowboys Do the Trick Again
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
In one of the first hands of today's play, Matt Affleck found pocket kings to double through Brian Rast, whose queens came up short.
Affleck peeked at the second strongest pair once more just before the second break, and he got the max value from the premium hand again.
With the board reading 
, Affleck's 
hade made a full house. Affleck tangled with Harald Sammer whose hand was already in the muck by the time we arrived.
What happened became evident as the dealer started counting Affleck's chips. He had 378,000 total and that was exactly the sum he received from Sammer.
The equation seems to be pretty clear in this tournament: Matt Affleck + kings = double.
