, giving The King a winning full house for a $60,000 pot ****-out.
The gamble in The King didn't stop there. On the final hand of the stream, he decided to flip for his entire $88,000 stack against "Pepe," who had him covered.

changed nothing. Pepe then slammed his unexposed hole card on the table and shouted, "ship it," before scooping the $176,000 pot. That was the end of the road for The King, who exited the stage at Hustler Casino in Los Angeles down almost $40,000 for the day.
If Pepe didn't have that seven in the hole (or a king), The King would have booked a massive win instead.
