A King Solomon Situation

[user135779]

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

During the second hand-for-hand session, we caught a rather sizeable hand over on one of the tables in the Purple section. The action folded to Brian England who raised to 11,000 befor the flop from middle position; Casey Diener then re-raised all-in for 85,500 from late position and the others got out of the way before England snap-called.

England: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}
Diener: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}

The ESPN camera crew crammed into every square inch of space available, but the crowd on the rail moaned, as if they knew that this chopped pot was inevitable. They got a slight sweat with the flop of {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {2-Spades} , but the the {3-Clubs} on the turn killed off all hope of that. The river {A-Spades} was purely for aesthetics.
