The Proverbial Two Birds

Kent Goulding started the action with a raise to 75,000 from early position. On around the table, Joseph Sanders made a reraise all in for his last 334,000. Next to him, Christian Tardea moved all in himself for 650,000. Goulding was the only man left, and he made the call with the covering stack to put both players at risk!

Showdown
Goulding: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Sanders: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Tardea: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

As the dealer was knocking the table and burning the first card, a chorus of cheers broke out at the table and along the rail. “Jack! Jack!” “Come on, Queen! Queen!” The table would soon be silent though as the dealer ran out a blank board of {9-Spades} {7-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades} {5-Clubs}. With his kings holding, Kent Goulding snaps off two opponents, vaulting up to 2,100,000 in the process. For Sanders and Tardea, it's better luck next year.
