Plante Cracks Timoteo's Kings
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Alfonso Timoteo opened to 5,000 in early position, and Ian O'Hara replied with a three-bet to 14,000 in the hijack. Santiago Plante was next to act in the cutoff, and moved all in for 50,000.
Timoteo took some time before moving his larger stack all in, and O'Hara quickly got out of the way.
Santiago Plante: A♥Q♠ 
Alfonso Timoteo: K♥K♦
Plante was trailing until the 5♣A♣8♠ flop, making top pair. Timoteo found no help on the 4♦ turn, and was already counting out chips as the 3♥ fell on the river.
Plante saw his pair of aces crack Timoteo's pocket kings to earn the double-up.
