Kings Hold for Palmer
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sanjeev Kapoor raised to 25,000 from under the gun only to see Benjamin Palmer three-bet to 65,000 from the button. Kapoor called.
The flop brought 4♥7♠J♣ and Kapoor checked. Palmer bet out for 50,000. Kapoor check-raised all in and Palmer snap-called for his tournament life.
Benjamin Palmer: K♣K♥ 
Sanjeev Kapoor: A♠J♦
Palmer's kings were ahead and he needed to fade an ace or a jack to double up. The turn brought the 8♣ and the river the Q♥ and Palmer's cowboys hold on to give him a full double up.
