Prager Cracks Kings
Michael Vela raised to 2,000 from early position, and got calls from Joshua Prager in the hijack, Anselmo Villareal in the cutoff, and David Roepke on the button. Undeterred by all the previous action, Robert Flanders then ripped in his stack of 16,400 from the small blind. Big blind John Morgan considered getting in there, but eventually folded, as did Vela. Prager reshoved to isolate, and did so effectively as the two remaining players folded, and the dealer called for showdown.
Robert Flanders: K♥K♠ 
Joshua Prager: A♦10♥
The 10♣10♠6♥ flop was brutal for Flanders, even more so as Morgan laughed and announced: "I folded king-ten of diamonds, that would've been a b****." Not only did Flanders now realize that he only had one out, but also that Prager had managed to find the only two remaining tens in the deck to take the lead. After the 9♦4♣ runout was dealt, Vela let the table know that he had folded an ace, as Flanders left the tournament area.
