Comedian King Doesn't Have Last Laugh

[user80015]

Mike King won't be playing cards anymore today!

Kani Edwards opened to 7,500 from middle position only to have Mike King move all in from the small blind for 22,500. Edwards made the call for his tournament life to take us to a showdown.

Edwards: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
King: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {5-Spades} {K-Spades} {10-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {K-Hearts} to see King crippled to just 7,800 as Edwards doubles to 51,000 in chips.

King would then commit his last few thousand holding {Q-Hearts} {4-Hearts} , but run into Servio Briones' {9-Hearts} {9-Spades} .

The board landed {5-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} to see King forced to return to his day job of being a comedian as Briones soars to 225,000 in chips.
