Sometimes You Just Have To...

Jason Gray raised to 300 from the hijack seat, but that wasn't going to get him anywhere. The cutoff immediately reraised to 900, and Dan Harmetz went ahead and four-bet to 2,800 from the button just as quickly. That folded Gray, but the cutoff proceeded to reraise once again, 14,000 total to go. Harmetz tanked and moaned for a little while, and he eventually folded pocket kings face-up!

The cutoff said he had aces but didn't show; the rest of the table seems to believe his story though. In any event, it's quite possible that Harmetz has saved himself from an early exit, laying down his kings and deciding to wait for a spot when he wasn't running into pocket aces.
