"I'd Rather See a Queen"
We found Tim West raising to 5,000 in late position only to be min-reraised by the Big Blind player, who made it 10,000. West called and both players were allowed to see a flop.
The flop consisted of and the Big Blind wasted no time by betting out 10,000. West made the call and we were off to the turn.
A landed on fourth street and with it came a bet from the Big Blind putting West all in. West begrudgingly made the call. Before cards were flipped West informed his opponent "if you have ace king you're good". Indeed West's opponent held and West was in bad shape as his wasn't up to snuff against his opponents trip kings, ace kicker.
There was still a river to be put out and to everyone's surprise a was struck down giving both players the same full house. The seven allowed for a split pot and West to stay in the tournament.
Afterwards a player at West's table started "you're lucky to see that", to which West replied "I'd rather see a queen, if I'm going to get lucky", too some laughter. West quickly told the table he was kidding and was extremely happy to be still in the running.
