Gaston's Kings Overpower Punsri's Queens

Level 33 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Tyler Gaston shoved all in preflop and Punnat Punsri announced a call. The cards were tabled with Gaston at risk.

Tyler Gaston: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Punnat Punsri: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Punsri was not too amused when he saw he was behind the larger over pair, and the board runout of {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs} did not do him any favors and Gaston was awarded the double up.
