Pillay Cracks Kings to Survive
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
TA opened to 150,000 on the button and Alvin Pillay reluctantly folded from the big blind.
"If you shove, I call. I have queens," TA said.
One hand later, Michael Cupido raised to 135,000 and Pillay then jammed from the small blind.
Cupido snap-called and declared "sometimes they have kings."
Alvin Pillay: A♥7♣ 
Michael Cupido: K♥K♦
The kings were cracked on the A♣Q♣3♦8♦8♠ board and Pillay doubled for 685,000.
