"If I show this hand, you'll think I bluffed the Russian," Morgan said, referencing a now-famous hand in the 2012 One Drop that had been the talk of the table recently.
Rick Salomon opened to $6,000 and got two calls before John Morgan made it $15,000. Salomon popped to $41,000, Everyone else got out of the way, and Morgan quickly jammed for $581,000. Salomon chuckled and said he was going to fold kings for the first time in his life.
Morgan showed him

"He had aces 20 times last night and he did the same move every time!" Salomon exclaimed.
For his part, Morgan expressed disbelief that the ultra-loose Salomon dumped kings.
"Probably had king-seven," Morgan remarked.
Three players put in $11,000 preflop, with Jean-Robert Bellande the raiser. The flop came
