Big Stax 1100 (Day 1B): Linster the Prophet

Level 13 (Blinds 1,000/2,000/300)
Total Day 1B Entries: 242

Finally! A showdown! And a massive one!

Moments after Mike Linster sat down at Table 50, he began telling his new tablemates about the aforementioned hand in which he lost a 300,000 pot with pocket aces getting cracked by pocket kings.

And oddly enough, the first hand at the table with him as a spectator was the exact same showdown but with a different result.

The player in the hijack seat raised to 4,400 pre-flop. Ernest Gozman (who requested not to be photographed) was sitting on the button and re-raised to 24,000. Hijack came back over the top to 64,000 before Gozman pushed all-in for a total bet of 143,000

Hijack tanked for a minute or two, but decided to make the call.

Gozman: A♠A   Hijack: KK♣

Flop: 8♠4♠3
Turn: 9♣
River: 10♠

"Funny that you were literally just talking about that hand," said another player to Linster.

"Where was that run out for me?" he begged.

Gozman now has just a shade under 300,000 chips.
