Champlin Nearly Cracks Kings in Six-Bet Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A raising war took place with Spencer Champlin opening in middle position and Kelvin Kerber three-betting to 50,000 in the cutoff.
Champlin clicked it back with a four-bet to 110,000 and Kerber responded by five-betting to 190,000 after using a time bank. Champlin used a time bank of his own before six-bet jamming for around 480,000. Kerber quickly called with a bigger stack.
Spencer Champlin: K♥J♥ 
Kelvin Kerber: K♠K♣
Kerber was far in front with pocket kings but the flop landed 9♥8♥3♣ to give Champlin a flush draw. Luckily for Kerber, the board finished out 6♠8♠ to keep his kings ahead as Champlin hit the rail in one of the biggest pots of the day.
