A Player At The World Series Of Poker Had A Pair Of Kings Turn Into Something Much Better
Over the weekend, Poker News reports that Vladimir Bozinovic started with a pair of kings... and it only got better from there.
Even before the flop, things were heating up. Bozinovic opened up with 80,000, "only to have Tony Ruberto three-bet the cutoff to 215,000". Bozinovic then went up to 500,000, which Ruberto called.
The flop showed a 10♦ Q♠ 8♣ - and both players checked.
The next card was a J♦. After Bozinovic checked again, Ruberto bet out 375,000. Bozinovic ultimately called.
After the 9♠ on the river, both players checked.
Bozinovic then revealed his two cowboys, K♠ K♣, which turned into a straight on the river. He increased his chip count to over 4 million.
