Hesp Can't Hold On with Kings

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Wen Zhou and John Hesp got all of the chips into the middle preflop with Hesp way out in front. Hesp tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, and Zhou had {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

The action was stopped until the camera crews were set up, and then the cards were dealt.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, and Zhou hit an ace right on the flop. Hesp needed to catch a king or running cards, but the {j-Spades} on the turn and the {7-Hearts} on the river weren't enough to get the job done. Zhou doubled up, and Hesp was left with around 1,000,000 chips.
