Kings Hold Court for Ruban

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Raul Martinez opened to 20,000 from under the gun before Yuliyan Kolev jammed for 182,000 from early position. Ivan Ruban also went all in, and Martinez called off for less as Martinez and Kolev were both at risk.

Raul Martinez: A♦K♦All in
Yuliyan Kolev: A♣K♥All in
Ivan Ruban: K♠K♣

Martinez and Kolev had the same hand, which spelled disaster as Ruban had both in trouble with pocket kings.

The ace never came on the 4♠7♣6♦10♠6♥ board to award Ruban the double knockout.
