No Kingdom For A King
Level 6: 400/800 (800)
Entries: 229/285
Karl King found himself on the line as he pushed his last 21 big blinds into the middle from under the gun. His bold shove was met with a quick call by Christopher Lamb, seated right behind him, setting up a dramatic showdown as the two revealed their hands:
- Karl King: K♠Q♠
- Christopher Lamb: A♦K♥
With Lamb’s Big Slick in the lead, King needed some royal assistance from the deck to stay in the game. The board, however, ran out in favor of the better hand: [invalid notations]. With no king or queen in sight, King’s suited Broadway hopes were dashed.
Lamb’s Ace-King held strong, sending Karl to the rail with no “kingdom” left to defend. A tough exit for King as Lamb raked in the pot.
Christopher Lamb: 70,000
Karl King: 0
