Stout Doesn't Need a King

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Short-stacked Matt Stout moved all in preflop and was called by Fernando Brito to put him at risk.

Matt Stout: K♥Q♦
Fernando Brito: A♣Q♠

"I folded two kings," a tablemate joked to Stout who just laughed as the flop came out A♥10♦5♥.

"Well, it doesn't matter now!" Stout declared as the J♥ came on the turn to give him the nut straight as well as a flush draw.

The board completed with the 9♣ for Stout to win the pot for his double-up.
