What A Great Time To Pick Up Kings

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

When you find yourself down to a few big blinds it is sometimes a case of "any two will do, " so imagine the delight Victor Olarav felt when the action folded to him on the button and he looked down at {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}.

Playing a stack of just 5,200 Olarav did what any poker player worth their salt would do and moved all in. The small blind folded but Artur Voskanyan made the call and showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}.

The {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop gave Voskanyan some outs to a straight but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn was not one of them. Neither was the {5-Diamonds} on the river and with that Olarav doubled up.
