Mercini's Kings Cracked

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A player opened to 25,000 and Satoshi Tanaka moved all in for 250,000 from the button. Peter Mercini three-bet all in from the big blind and the original raiser folded.

Satoshi Tanaka: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Peter Mercini: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Mercini had picked up a big blind special, but the {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} gave a pair and a flush draw to Tanaka and left Mercini drawing to a single out. The {j-Diamonds} turn and {3-Spades} river did not help him. After a quick count, he was covered by just 25,000 chips and Mercini was eliminated.
