We picked up the action as David Boyaciyan bet out 925 on from the big blind. "I believe you got kings" said bracelet winner Barny Boatman, hinting it was a three bet pot pre flop.

Rex Clinkscales is just one of the dozens of young circuit grinders trying to make his way from the minor leagues to the Big Show, and after his recent win at the 2012-13 WSOP Circuit Harrah's Philadelphia Main Event, Clinkscales is ready to add a bracelet to his jewelry collection.

After defending with a flat, Clinkscales checked the flop, giving the other player an opening to bet 600.

With pain etched across his face, the other player flashed his to the table before mucking the beaten big slick.
