The buzz around the tournament room right now is about a hand recently played between the at the time chip leader Cong Pham and long time professional poker player Cliff Josephy. With the board reading Q♠T♠T♥7♥K♠, Cliff Josephy checked just like he had done on the flop and turn. Pham bet, just like he had done on the flop and turn, 150K. This time Josephy did more than call - he moved all in for just under 700K total. A confused Pham tanks, and then after a while says he has pocket kings. He tanks some more and then mucks the kings face up. A stunned table looks on in disbelief. Josephy, not wanting to show any, decides to show one card... the T♣, meaning the only hand he could have held that would beat Pham is quad tens. "I would have played Q-T and quad tens the same way," Josephy says but still doesn't tell anyone what his other card is. "It wouldn't matter. I'm either lying or I'm not."
@JohnnyBaxPoker is truly blessed. What I just witnessed is unbearable. He makes me sick.

Over at Alex Rocha's table news of the hand spread there leading to a discussion of whether anyone would ever fold kings there. "Never," said Alex. "I'd be like nice hand sir if he had quads." Another player at the table echoed that sentiment.
