Two Down in Quick Succession

Level 20 : 17,500/35,000, 4,500 ante

In a pot worth more than 2.5 million, "kalaisin?" in the small blind and "Prof. Hitman" got their chips in with the former at risk.

"kalaisin?": {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
"Prof. Hitman": {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board ensured that the kicker played a pivotal role.

A couple of hands later, "T3G3S" was all-in with a severe short stack holding the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Guilherme "teruliro" Orrico called out of the big blind with {a-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The {k-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} board provided no help to the player at risk.

There are plenty of chips and well-known players remaining at that very table and their counts can be found below.
