Lucas Priour opened the pot to 18,500 from the button. The small blind ducked out, but Benjamin Kang came along from the big.

The flop rolled out {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

, and Kang moved all in for 79,500. Priour made the call, tabling {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

for a paltry pair of nines. Kang was ahead with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Spades}

. The

{7-Diamonds}

on the turn was a good card for the short stack, blocking Priour's two pair outs. The {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

was a blank on the river, and Kang has earned another nice pot.

He's still climbing, just nudging 200,000 chips now.
