Finn Gets the Max from His Kings
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Jonathan Finn was in the big blind and in a hand with Cassio Kienen who was in middle position. Action was picked up after the flop as the pot stood at 13,500 and the 5♣K♠4♥ board was already showing.
Kienen had the all in triangle in front of them, but he covered Finn's remaining 12,300 stack, that wasn't already committed to the pot. Finn called the pair were left to head to showdown.
Jonathan Finn: K♣K♥
Cassio Kienen: K♦Q♠
Finn was ahead having flopped a set, and there was no change on the 8♣ turn or 2♥ river. Both left the hand sitting on around the same stack size which was just short half starting stack size.
Another player at the table remarked "You are lucky he had a king!"
