Team PokerStars Online's Ike Haxton raised to 24,000 preflop before Antonio Esfandiari three-bet to 60,000 in the seat next to him. Paul Phua flat-called but then Richard Yong moved all in from the blinds for 311,000.
Haxton and Esfandiari both quickly folded but Phua couldn't bring himself to give up his hand and made the call.
Phua: 
Yong: 
The board came 
and Yong doubled up to nearly 700,000.
"Nice hand Richard," said someone at the table.
Yong laughed, "Everybody knows how to play kings!"
