Joyce Welcomed to His New Table
Nivel 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Philip Joyce had just switched tables and taken the seat of the departed Roeland Peeks as Arian Kashani opened to 60,000 in the cutoff. Yisha Chen then three-bet to 180,000 on the button and Joyce, still unracking his chips, called in the small blind. Kashani got out of the way.
The flop came 5♥5♣4♠ and Joyce led out for 65,000. Chen raised to 200,000 and Joyce called.
Both players checked the Q♥ turn and the 6♦ fell on the river. Joyce checked again, Chen bet 800,000, and Joyce snap-called.
Chen showed K♦K♥, but Joyce turned over A♦A♣ to win the massive pot.
"Welcome to the table," Kashani told him.
"Aces versus kings in back-to-back hands. The odds of that have to be astronimcal, almost zero," Bobby James added.
