Some Somers Are Hotter Than Others

On the turn, Ian Somers fired 3,100 into a board of {A-Hearts} {9-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Hearts} and one opponent. That opponent moved all in for 11,625 total and Somers made the call.

Somers held {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} against his opponent's {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The river paired the board with the {9-Diamonds}, but Somers' king kicker still played as the better holding and he won the pot. With his opponent eliminated, Somers moved up to 47,400 chips.
