********* Post Match Quotes **********

Tuveson: "Either he has a king or missed a lot of draws. It was a tough decision, but once I thought it through I felt I was good. Even if I'm wrong I still would have had enough chips to keep playing.

Zaucha: "It was a good call. I didn't feel it affected my momentum, but chip wise it was a big hand."
