"juco" Wins With Aces vs Two Kings

Level 2 : 125/250, 25 ante
juco scores first knockout
juco scores first knockout

The action was already brewing for a while on the table and it all escalated in a spectacular three-way all-in right before the table broke when "juco" and "Bostero247" got their chips in preflop. Christian Rudolph looked them up with the superior stack and three premium pocket pairs appeared in the showdown.

"Bostero247": {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
"juco": {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Christian Rudolph: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {q-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop gave Rudolph some back door outs and that hope garnered more equity on the {j-Hearts} turn. However, the {6-Clubs} river was a blank and "juco" scored a huge triple up.

Liu Second Player to Bust

Level 2 : 125/250, 25 ante

The second player to hit the rail early on Day 1a was China's Leslie Liu. They lost the vast majority of their chips in a big clash with Russia's "ZeN1TP1TeR08" and then got the rest of it in with {6-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} against {a-}{k-}. A six appeared on the turn but the river improved their opponent as the table closed in a heartbeat after the conclusion of the hand.
