King Folds Ace-King

Mike King is a colorful character who enjoys himself on the felt, but he was just put to a tough decision by fellow Kiwi Graeme Putt.

Catching the action on the turn on a board of {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Spades} there was already around 14,000 in the pot when Putt moved all in for 12,150.

King stood from his chair and chatted away to Putt for several minutes.

Channeling a higher power, King sighed, "What would Lee Nelson do?" before eventually folding his {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} face up.

"I'll show you one," said Putt and flashed the {2-Hearts}. "Only one," continued Putt as he flipped the card over to reveal a matching {2-Clubs}.

A nice fold by King leaves himself with 20,000 chips as Putt climbs to around 28,000.
