King High for the Win
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Right before the break, Frank Stepuchin raised to 2,400 from middle position and received a call from Kevin Pruett on the button, as well as Eric Smidinger in the big blind.
The board appeared with 6♦5♣7♠, and all of the participants quickly checked.
On the turn 3♠ and the river 6♥, all the players seemed eager to get out on their break and checked it through.
Pruett announced, "King high?" and it turned out to be the best hand. Pruett showed K♦10♥, Stepuchin showed K♣J♥, and Smidinger mucked. Pruett's kicker played, winning him the pot.
