Doug Rippe raised to 5,000 from late position and Garnetta Montgomery called in the hijack. On the button, Joel Vanetten three-bet to 18,000 which promtped a four-bet from Rippe to 45,000. Montgomery folded to see Vanetten move all in for 121,000 effective and Rippe called.

Doug Rippe: AA
Joel Vanetten: KK

The board ran out K106106 and the kings full was good for Vanetten to take down the pot and eliminate Rippe.
