Lichtenberger Scores Massive Pot to More Than Double Up

Jeremy Ausmus opened for 17,000 from middle position and action folded around to Filip Verboven, who pushed all in for his last 120,000 from the cutoff seat. Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger then cold-called from the button. It was folded back to Ausmus, who announced he was all in. Lichtenberger quickly called all-in for 401,000 total and all three hands were revealed.

Lichtenberger: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Ausmus: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}
Verboven: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Ausmus was in great shape to eliminate both of his opponents, however, the {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{K-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} board left Lichtenberger with a set of kings - good for the massive scoop to chip Lichtenberger up to 930,000.

Verboven was eliminated and Ausmus slipped back down to 600,000.
