Kings Good for White

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Jamie Whyte opened to 800 under the gun and was called by David Barnes in the next seat and Sam Haughton in the big blind.

On a flop of 1034 Haughton checked to Whyte, who put out a bet of 1,200. Barnes folded and Haughton called.

The turn brought the 6 and Haughton check-called a bet of 3,600 from Whyte.

The 5 river brought all kinds of danger for Whyte versus Haughton's big blind range, and was duly checked through by both players.

Whyte showed KK for a pair of kings while Haughton turned over J10 for top pair, allowing Whyte to scoop the pot.
