Kilgore Killin' Em Softly
A flop of was spread across the felt and Rick Kilgore had moved all-in for his last 3,000 chips. With the pot containing over 1,200 chips before this shove, his opponent felt committed and made the call, leaving himself with only 200 chips in reserve.
Showdown:
Kilgore:
Opponent:
Kilgore's flopped two-pair were in the lead against his opponent's flush draw, and when another player at the table commented that he had folded two clubs, Kilgore felt even more confident. The on the turn gave his opponent four more outs, as now any six or eight would give him a winning full house. Kilgore stood up and yelled "no club, no club!" as the dealer burned and turned.
River:
Kilgore got his wish and doubled his stack to more than 8,000 with the win. His opponent was crippled after missing his draws and will likely have to wait until next year for another shot at a WSOP bracelet.
