A Good Time for Kings

To be honest, it's almost always a good time for kings. It's only a bad time for kings if your opponent has aces or if someone with a naked ace spikes an ace on board. Regardless, Russell Thomas opened for 14,000. He was raised by Steven Tabb to 32,000. Thomas shoved with {k-Diamonds} {k-Clubs}; Tabb called with {a-Hearts} {k-Hearts}. The river was actually a pretty good sweat for Thomas, as the board developed {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {q-Hearts}. But it came a safe {10-Spades}. Tabb fell to 75,000 in the counts, while Thomas is now quite robusto with 260,000.
