Linton Gets Kings Cracked

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

We have already seen pocket aces cracked and now we have seen pocket kings smashed to pieces.

Jakub Michalak opened to 250,000 with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Alban Juen three-bet to 595,000 with {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Pete Linton then woke up with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and four-bet to 1,300,000! The pot was already huge when Michalak moved all in for 4,750,000 and grew larger still when Linton called!

The {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop gave Michalak outs to a Broadway straight, meaning Linton had to avoid improving to a set otherwise he would double Michalak up. The {3-Spades} on the turn was as safe as a card Linton could have hoped for, but the {K-Hearts} was the river card, completing a straight for Michalak and gifting the Pole a huge pot.
