Leeson Scores Knockout In Crazy Hand

We were not on hand to catch exactly how the hand played out and the exact details were hard to gather with several players attempting to recap the hand at the same time, but here is what we can gather went down:

After a series of bets and raises involving four players before the flop, one player eventually five-bet shoved all in before the flop. Justin Leeson called this bet and Gavin Smith and a fourth player at the table got out of the way.

Leeson: {K-}{K-}
Opponent: {A-}{K-}

The fourth player told the table that he folded pocket nines and was kicking himself after the flop came down {9-}{9-}{K-}. Leeson, however, was celebrating as he flopped a full house and was ultimately able to score a knockout and almost double his starting stack. He's currently sitting on 38,000.
