Hand #23 - Rep Porter

Rep Porter has the button in seat 3 and he raises to 34,000. Michiel Brummelhuis, the small blind, announces a raise. He makes it 104,000 to see a flop. Shilyuk folds his big blind and the action is back to Rep Porter. Never hasty with a decision, Porter takes his time yet again. He finally reraises to 354,000 and Brummelhuis moves all in. Porter quickly calls and the players show:

Brummelhuis: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Porter: {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}

The previously bored gallery is on it's feet. It's Porter's tournament life on the line. After the pot is made right, the dealer makes with the flop...

{8-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

Porter still leads and Brummelhuis needs an ace or running straight cards. The turn brings the {3-Clubs}. With little delay the {10-Clubs} hits the river. Porter's kings are best and he doubles up.
