Gutshot Comes Through
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kyle Knecht raised from the hijack to 30,000, and Benny Chen made the call from the cutoff. Everyone else folded, and the flop came out with K♠Q♥7♦. Knecht checked, and Chen made it 50,000. Knecht did not hesitate and moved all in for his last 217,000. Chen made the call and was ahead on the flop with his set of kings, and Knecht held a pair of aces and a gutshot draw to the straight.
Kyle Knecht: K♣K♦Q♠3♠ 
Benny Chen: A♣A♠10♣9♥
The turn brought a straight for Knecht with the J♦, and the river 8♥ sealed the deal, and Knecht won the pot.
