Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Philippe Souki and a player in the hijack were heads-up on a board of with 10,000 already in the pot when Souki's opponent bet 5,500.
Souki quickly called to the river, when he again checked. His opponent checked back this time and Souki turned over
for trip kings to take the pot.
"Important pot," the hijack said following the hand.
"I don't want to waste it now, though. I want to save it for Day 2, Day 3," Souki replied.
