Naoya Kihara was the bring in, and Allen Kessler folded. James Cheung completed to put the action on Kihara, who raised. Cheung made it three-bets and Kihara called.
On fourth street, Kihara raised Cheung's bet and the latter called. Cheung then check-called on fifth street and then led out on sixth street. Kihara called, and then called another bet on seventh.
"A pair of kings," Cheung announced sheepishly, but his hesitance soon turned into jubilation as Kihara mucked his hand.
"Wow!" exclaimed Kessler. "That's insane...a pair of kings, wow."
