Kings All Around for Double Ups

"Why can't I get kings?" Thinks Moorman
"Why can't I get kings?" Thinks Moorman

Erich Kollmann and Jake Cody like pocket kings a lot as they both used them to double-up as the second level of the day came to an end.

Anton Ionel raised to 3,200 and called when Kollmann three-bet to 10,000. The flop came down {3-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Ionel check-called a 30,000 c-bet from the Austrian. The turn came {3-Clubs} and Kollmann continued to fast play his hand as he shoved for 56,500 when his Romanian checked again.

Ionel tanked for a while and said, "I can't beat your kings" before he called with {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}. Kollmann did indeed have {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and survived the {q-Hearts} river.

Moments later Cody three-bet all-in for 22,000 with {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} after Patrick Van Dijk opened to 2,200 with {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}. The Dutch online phenomenon called but failed to catch up through the {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{q-Spades} board.
