Won my 1st WSOP ring !!!! Ignore me being dumbfounded please 😭🤣

Last WSOP Circuit at TCH Austin in September, my best friend Gunner and I were in a $10/$25/$50 game. I was already in for about $3,800 and was sitting on roughly $3,400ish late in the session. I’m in the cutoff with pocket kings. Action limps around to middle position, who raises to $250 with about $9,800 behind. The hijack, right on my left, makes it $550 with a little under $2,900. I don’t think long and three-bet to $1,550. It folds back to middle position, who announces all-in. The hijack snap-calls. I knew I was in trouble the second it happened. The hijack had been in the game for $6,000 and hadn’t played a hand in two hours. He had that unshakeable look like he already knew how this was ending. I turned to Gunner and said, “I’m behind. I have pocket kings.” He just said, “Wow.” “Well,” I told him, “I’m pot-committed. If I lose, I lose.” We flipped them over. Middle position had ace-king offsuit. The hijack had aces. Exactly what I expected. We agreed to run it twice. The whole table heard it. The dealer heard it. Right as the dealer was about to put out the first runout, middle position changed his mind. “Wait—I actually just want to run it once.” That pissed me off. I called the floor. Middle position told him, “I never agreed to run it twice.” Everyone at the table backed me except the dealer, who said, “I never heard what they agreed on.” The floor heard both sides and told the dealer to run it once. I was stunned. A guy who was way behind in a $10k pot only wanted to run it once only after he saw the cards. It felt dirty as hell. I was so pissed I barely watched the flop. Ten, four, king. Turn: seven. River: three. I didn’t even register the king at first. Gunner started yanking on my shoulder and yelling, “King! King! King!” Then I saw it and started screaming, “Hold! Hold! Hold!” I scooped the pot. Without thinking, I looked at middle position and yelled the loudest most passionate “Fuck you” I’ve ever said in my life. The floor manager came over immediately. He’d already been filled in. He told me, “Woah you can’t say that.” Then he leaned in and said quietly, “What he did was dirty. If I’d been here from the start, it would’ve run twice. But just remember—he’s the reason you got the whole thing”. It’s still the biggest cash game hand I’ve ever won live for now….
