Philips Can't Fold Kings
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Josh Philips opened to 2,000 in middle position and Xiancong Li three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind.
Philips took some time, asking to see his opponent's stack before four-betting to 15,000. Li responded by moving all in, and Philips asked the dealer to confirm the amount. Li had Philips slightly covered, and Philips used some more time before sticking in the call.
Josh Philips: K♣K♦ 
Xiancong Li: A♥3♥
The table reacted as Philips tabled his pocket kings, which improved to a set on the K♠6♦3♦7♥2♣ runout to double through Li.
That left Li with crumbs, and his last few chips were gone a short time later.
