Marco Meisser limp-called from middle position and Charles Moore, wearing a Santa hat to pair with his white beard, did likewise from the hijack.
Dylan Smith raised to 7,500. Meisser called, but Moore raised to 76,500.
Smith moved all of his 104,000 chips into the pot. Meisser tanked for several minutes before letting his hand go.
Moore made the call.
Dylan Smith: A♠K♦
Charles Moore: A♥Q♥
Already ahead, Smith hit the door card with a pair of kings on the flop and held through the full board of 3♥4♠K♠10♠7♦.
The typically jovial Moore, who was smiling and jingling his bells while waiting on Messer's decision as if this were Christmas in July, became agitated when a player at the table tried to help him match the all-in stack.
"Stay outta my kitchen," Moore screamed. "You're not in the hand, I am. I have a right to count his chips."
When he calmed down, he paid his debt and play continued.
