An Un-Fair Turn of Events

Benjamin Alcober opened for a raise from under the gun, Ryan Fair three-bet to 43,000 from the hijack seat, and Alcober four-bet to 105,000. Fair five-bet to 167,000, Alcober moved all in for 405,000, and Fair called.

Alcober{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Fair{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop was safe, but the {k-Diamonds} spiked on the turn, giving Fair a set of kings. The river was the {9-Hearts}, and Fair doubled to over 800,000 chips.

Alcober, who was once our chip leader, now has only 206,000.
