Papai Gets Huge Double-Up With Kings
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The pot had already grown to 20,000 preflop when Laszlo Papai made a bet of 10,000 on the K♥A♦2♥ flop from the big blind. His opponent was Umberto Ruggeri, who made a small raise to 23,000.
Papai responded with an all-in three-bet to 48,300. Ruggeri asked for a count and made the call soon after he heard the correct number.
Laszlo Papai: K♠K♣ 
Umberto Ruggeri: A♥Q♣
Ruggeri was in bad shape against the set of Papai. The 9♠ turn provided no help, locking up the pot for Papai and rendering the 6♥ river meaningless.
