Kippels Gets Bailed Out
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Chad Nieland limped under the gun and action folded around to Tony Kippels in the small blind who completed. Michael Dehen then made it 10,000 to go in the big blind and Nieland made the call. Kippels responded with a three-bet jam for 79,500 to put himself at risk. Dehen thought for a moment before making the call and Nieland got out of the way.
Tony Kippels: K♥10♦ 
Michael Dehen: A♥10♣
Dehen was in great shape to scoop the pot, having Kippels dominated. That was until the dealer fanned out the K♣A♦K♠ flop, improving Kippels to trip kings.
Dehen still had outs with an ace but was unable to improve as the board ran out 2♠, 6♠.
