Battle of the Kyles

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Just before the break, Kyle Welsh got his stack of 47,700 all in preflop from the cutoff and was in bad shape against Kyle Bowker, who was on the button.

Bowker: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Welsh: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Both players held an ace, but Bowker's kicker had him well out in front. The {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop was uneventful, while the {a-Diamonds} turn gave both a pair. Bowker's kicker made him an overwhelming favorite, but Welsh got lucky as the {6-Spades} spiked on the river to give him two pair and renewed life.
