Michael Polchlopek opens to 300 , from under the gun, PartyPoker Qualifier Yves Farges makes the call from position and the big blind also calls.

Flop: [8d] [8h] [3h]

Polchlopek is allowed his standard c-bet. He makes it 500 to play and only Farges makes the call.

Turn: [Qs]

Polchlopek does what he does best and applies further pressure with a 1,250 bet; Farges calls.

River: [4h]

So the dealer has finished his job, what about the players? Polchlopek bets his third barrel of 1,700.

"Wow, you must have a strong hand," says Farges before continuing, "I call."

Polchlopek did have a strong hand –  pocket kings.

"Full house." Says Farges before turning over a pair of treys.

His action draws a few stares from around the table.

"This early in the tournament? He could easily have pocket queens." Says Farges.

Farges ~ 42,000
Polchlopek ~ 27,000
