Le Finds a King
Level 17
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Tan Le began the day with nearly 400,000 but had been knocked down to just 33,000 before moving all in from middle position. Stephen Cherry called in the big blind to put him at risk.
Tan Le: K♣4♣
Stephen Cherry: A♠4♦
Le was dominated heading to the 2♥7♠J♠ flop. The turn was the K♦ and Le jumped into the lead with a pair of kings, holding on through the 10♦ river as Cherry was forced to hand over a double up.
