Two Kings Become Big Slick

[user66118]

Team PokerStars Pro Henrique Pinho was just eliminated in unusual fashion. In the small blind, Pinho was dealt a king first, and his second card flipped over and was exposed by the dealer; it was another king. The card he received to replace it was an ace, and Pinho ended up all in preflop with Big Slick. He ran into an Italian opponent with pocket aces, though, crushing news for Pinho.

The board came down king-high, and Pinho would have doubled up but for the exposed king that cost him trips. Instead, he is out.
