More than 10,000 chips had already accumulated in the pot as a player on the cutoff and Ivan Zarate went to the river.
With on the board, the cutoff player checked, and Zarate went all in. The total was about a pot-size bet, and the cutoff didn't take too long before announcing a call.
The cutoff showed for top pair, but saw the bad news when Zarate tabled for the full boat. The hand almost earned Zarate a bounty, as the cutoff player was left with just 1000 chips.
"They're circlin' me!" Chad Holloway said, after his kings ran into aces and he was left with just 1,000 in chips.
Holloway got those 1,000 in chips in on the button, and Brett Gordon three-bet to 3,500 in the small blind, chasing out the big blind.

Brett Gordon:
"That's a good flop for you!" Gordon, who won the $235 8-Game Championship at Run It Up Reno V told Holloway after the flop gave Holloway two pair and a big lead. The turn was a sweat for Holloway, however, as Gordon turned a straight draw, and the river completed the straight for Gordon, earning him a $100 bounty and sending Holloway to re-enter.
With on the board, Ian Zahller put in a bet for 3,500 from the big blind. Alex Conatser, on the button, thought it over for a bit before making the call.
Conatser's for top pair was good against the of Zahller, but Conaster was sure to give credit to Zahller for the play. The details leading up to the river bet are unknown, but Conatser was impressed with the overall line Zahller took.
"That's a killer bluff," Conatser said. "I give you all the credit."
