Back to Back Kings for Divecha
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: A♦Q♣
John Divecha: K♠K♣
Elizalde seemed unfazed seeing Divecha's hand and instead took his phone out to record the outcome. The flop dropped 7♦10♥K♦ 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: A♦10♦
John Divecha: K♣K♠
After seeing the hands, Divecha said, "Let them hold now." The board ran 7♦Q♦J♣5♣. 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.
