Korotki Runs His Kings into Aces and Hits the Rail

Tyler Boyer

Level 12 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

James Crawford limped under the gun, and Harry Korotki raised to 6,500 from early position. Then Brandon Mueller three-bet to 19,000 from middle position. Once action got back to Crawford, he folded, and Korotki four-bet all in, which was snap called by Mueller.

Harry Korotki: K♠K♥ All in
Brandon Mueller: A♠A♦

It was the ultimate cooler, as Korotki's pocket kings ran right into the pocket aces of Mueller. The board ran out 9♠9♣A♣2♣6♣ and Mueller's flopped full house gave him the pot and eliminated Korotki.
