According to Michael King, he opened with a raise to 7,000 and was called by one player in the big blind.

The flop was {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and after a check King put forward a bet of what he said was "pot," or around 16,000. His opponent called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and King's opponent checked for a second time. King now bet 50,000 and his opponent tanked for a bit before calling again.

On the {9-Hearts} river, the player in the blinds checked again. King moved all in with a slightly covering stack for roughly 120,000. His opponent tanked for a good while, several minutes, but ultimately decided to call. King turned up his {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and his opponent frustratedly tossed his card into the muck. With that, King took down a massive pot and moved up the chip counts with nearly 400,000 chips.

After the hand, several of the players made guesses about what the big blind was holding when he called, with some players guessing he was holding {A-}{4-}.

"Ace-four?" King questioned. "I don't think so. I think he called me lighter than that. I think he tried to hero call me."
