Aces v. Kings

The disgust of one player was heard across the room over the fact that he was just ousted from the tournament. With both players all-in, Rick Troendly was breathing a sigh of relief as the board filled out {8-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {5-Hearts} {K-Spades} . Why was Troendly relieved? He held pocket kings, while his opponent held pocket aces! Troendly is up to 33,500 after the hand.
