Duff Charette opened to 60,000, Chun Kit Kwan shoved for 600,000 and Charette called to put Kwan at risk.
Chun Kit Kwan: Q♠Q♣
Duff Charette: K♠K♦
Both players had premium hands but Charette was well ahead with pocket kings. He remained so on the J♥10♠5♠9♥10♦ runout to send the start-of-day chip leader to the rail and take both the pot and chip lead.
