Two tables away, Nicholas Go could be heard shouting, "Aces vs. Kings! Aces vs. Kings!" Getting the attention of media.
The action was picked up with both Go and Rene von Reden on their feet with their cards and chips in the middle of the felt for a showdown.
Nicholas Go: A A
Rene von Reded: K K
After getting media attention, Go started calling out cards that would not crack his aces. Other players were excitedly commenting that they haven't seen pre-flop betting that had reached six-betting and seven-betting which apparently happened before the showdown.
Von Reden could just look on at everyone, smile at all the kerfuffle and video everything on his phone. The dealer, finally, flopped 5 6 3 .
The ruckus continued and so did the dealer with a 4 turn giving von Reden a chance to split the pot if the board made a straight. Go started shouting louder.
Finally, the river A gave Go a set sealing his victory and evoking a loud cheer from the player, "I'm the new chip leader!".
Von Reden left the table as the players continued to talk about the hand.
