Krzesinski Wins With the Bigger Pair
Level 20
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Youness Barakat raised the button to 350,000 and Tomasz Krzesinski shoved from the small blind for 1,235,000. Barakat quickly called.
Tomasz Krzesinski: K♥K♦10♥4♠ 
Youness Barakat: Q♥Q♦10♠10♣
Krzesinski had the higher pocket pair, but anything could happen with five cards to come.
Barakat picked up a straight draw on the 9♠3♦8♦ flop, but the 2♦ turn and 3♥ were no help to him. Krzesinski's kings won the pot, and he remained in the Main Event.
