Cooler with Kings for "nicoferrow"

Level 7 : 250/500, 60 ante

Brazil's "nicoferrow" just rebought once again after three-betting with pocket kings against his opponent's pocket aces. While there was some betting after the flop, it was inevitable that the duo would eventually get all their chips in the middle.

The {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts} board was of no help to Villa-Lobos who after the hand found himself with a fresh stack of 15,000 after rebuying.
