Robinson Takes a Hit

When we arrived at Table 14, a player opened to 125 from under the gun. Four players called, including Nelson Robinson, who finished runner-up in Event #44 of the 2012 World Series of Poker, and 33rd in the 2011 WSOP Main Event.
The dealer fanned 
, and the action checked to the original raiser, who tossed out 525. Only Robinson called.
The turn was a repeat nine - the 
- and Robinson opted to lead out for 1,125. The player painstakingly called.
The man with the ax (
) completed the board, and Robinson fired another 2,600. His opponent lurched back into his chair, throwing his hands on his head. He eventually made a crying call, splashing the chips forward.
Robinson laughed.
"What do you have?" he asked him. "Kings?"
"I called you," the player responded.
Grinning, Robinson flicked his cards into the muck. His opponent proudly showed 
for a king-high straight, and raked in the pot.
