Andrew Knowles

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded around to Kristen Foxen on the button who moved all in for 250,000 and Alexandre Reard moved all in over the top from the small blind. The big blind quickly got out of the way and the cards were on their backs.

Kristen Foxen: K♠9♦
Alexandre Reard: Q♣Q♠

Foxen was in need of help against the queens for Reard, and when the board ran out A♦K♥8♥7♠K♣, it was the flopped king that kept Foxen alive with the added king on the river to add icing to the cake.
