Cracked Aces End Khan's Day
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dominik Panka opened to 4,000 from early position and was called by Umar Khan in the cutoff, Sokratis Linaras on the button, and Recep Aydemir in the big blind.
Action checked to Khan on the K♠2♥5♣ flop and he bet 8,000. Only Linaras called.
Umar shoved for approximately 20,000 on the 4♥ turn and Linaras called to put him at risk.
Umar Khan: A♥A♣
Sokratis Linaras: K♣K♥
Both players had slowplayed their hands preflop, but Linaras ended up with a commanding lead with a set of kings.
The 7♠ river failed to improve Khan and he was sent to the rail.
