McGowan Knocks Off Kings

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 12,000 under the gun. David McGowan shoved his last 55,000.

Ponakovs asked for the amount and made the call.

David McGowan: A♥3♥All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♦K♣

McGowan was fully prepared to leave, but the cards had other ideas, as the runout of 7♥3♦Q♣6♥A♠ hit him nicely with an ace on the river for two pair to topple the kings.
