Michael Kuo raised from under the gun and Joe McKeehen three-bet on his left. James Chen four-bet all in for his last 60,000 in the big blind and both Kuo and McKeehen called.
The flop came K♦Q♣5♥ and Kuo led out with a bet into the dry side pot. McKeehen called and the 2♥ landed on the turn. Kuo fired out another bet and McKeehen came along to the 6♣ on the river.
Both players checked and all three hands were tabled. Kuo showed K♥9♦ for top pair while McKeehen flashed Ax10x. Chen tabled 10♦8♥ and Kuo scooped everything with one pair.
