Kinesh Pather was chipped down to around the starting stack when he got it in with the suited K♠2♠. Michael Cupido had a suited king as well in K♥9♥ and improved on the A♣9♣3♥ flop. The 7♠ turn left Pather drawing dead prior to the 2♥ river.
"You can have your menu back," Pather said and handed the food menu to the player next to Cupido.
