Back to Back Kings for Divecha

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Mark Kawamoto opened for 60,000 and got a three-bet from John Divecha to 160,000 on the button. Claudio Elizalde in small blind went all-in which was enough to make Kawamoto fold. Divecha made the call.

Claudio Elizalde: AQ All in
John Divecha: KK

Elizalde seemed unfazed seeing Divecha's hand and instead took his phone out to record the outcome. The flop dropped 710K giving Divecha a set but gave Elizalde outs with a gutshot straight draw. Still hopeful, Elizalde said, "It's ok, the jack is coming, the jack is coming."

The 3 didn't change the situation but the moment the J fell on the river completing his broadway straight, Elizalde went, "There it is." He apologized to Divecha as he scooped the pot for a double up.

On the very next hand, Yen-Tuan Chen shoved all-in and got called by Divecha, now in cutoff. The hands were tabled.

Yen-Tuan Chen: A10 All in
John Divecha: KK

After seeing the hands, Divecha said, "Let them hold now." The board ran 7QJ5. Before the river was dealt, Divecha called out 5 which is exactly what dropped on the river. With the kings holding up Chen was sent to the rails.
