"Easiest Kings Fold...Ever"

We arrived at the table and found that after a series of preflop raises, an opponent had re-raised all in and put Casey McCarrel to the test.

McCarrel, who had already committed at least 16,000 to the pot, appeared close to letting his hand go, but opted to call about 15,000 more. His opponent tabled {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, leaving McCarrel in bad shape with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. However, McCarrel hit the board bigtime as it rolled out {9-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{3-Clubs} to send his opponent to the rail.

After the hand David Baker laughingly said, "Easiest kings fold...ever."

McCarrel got a good laugh out of it and is all smiles with a stack of about 71,000.
