Kings of Kings

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

It appears somebody finally got the better of Mark Maakestad and his seemingly never-ending string of pocket kings.

Ames, Iowa's Bryce Arneson bet 6,200 into a pot of about the same size on a {7-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs} board. Maakestad called and the river brought the {10-Diamonds} and another bet from Arneson, this time for 10,700.

Maakestad tank-called and instantly flipped over the {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. Arneson showed the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, having flopped a set, rivered a boat and got paid, chopping the one-time chip leader down to size.
