"Play Bad and Win is My Strategy"; Von Kriegenbergh Now Over 300K
Catching the action on the turn with the board reading 
, a healthy pot was brewing between Thomas Popov and Taylor von Kriegenbergh.
Popov had bet 58,000 — effectively all in since he left just a 1,000-denomination chip to cap his cards — and von Kriegenbergh was deep into the tank. Several minutes went by before von Kriegenbergh pushed out a stack of orange 5,000-denomination chips and Popov tossed in his last chip to call all in.
Popov: 
Von Kriegenbergh: 
With Popov in the lead with his overpair and needing to fade a five, four, or ace, the dealer would smack the 
on the river to send Popov off to the rail in a hurry as von Kriegenbergh was pushed the pot to send him to over 300,000.
As von Kriegenbergh began raking in the pot, he discussed the hand a little with the players around him before concluding, "play bad and win is my strategy!"
