Kirk Brown

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

James Shouldis opened in early position for 5,000, then was three-bet by the button for 12,000, followed by a jam from the big blind for 30,000 effective. Shouldis then reshoved for the rest of his stack of 43,000, sending the button into the tank. After a few moments of deliberation, the button called and the cards were on their backs, with Shouldis and the big blind at risk.

Shouldis:
Big Blind :

The board ran out which meant Shouldis and his pocket kings held for the scoop and he was awarded the ~120,000 pot.
