Lagodich Finds a King to Survive
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Jon Orlando raised to 3,500 in middle position and Anatoly Nikitin called in the cutoff. Frank Lagodich then moved all in for 25,000 on the button, and only Orlando called.
Frank Lagodich: K♠Q♠ 
Jon Orlando: A♠8♠
The J♦K♦9♦ flop gave Lagodich the lead with a pair of kings, and Orlando couldn't catch up on the 3♥ turn or 3♣ river and Lagodich doubled up.
