Level 7 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Raoul Kanme was sat with a bet of 40,000 in front of him staring at two all-ins behind him. First, Ryuta Nakai had shoved for 228,000 and then Turbo Nguyen had shoved for 237,000.

The dealer had counted out the stacks and started the clock. Kanme used a time bank before folding.

Ryuta Nakai: A♥K♠ All in
Turbo Nguyen: A♠A♣

"Ace-king?" Nguyen asked Kanme. The board came 2♦2♥K♦10♣8♥ sending Nakai to the rail.

"Kind of hard to beat aces with ace-king with one king dead," said tablemate Galen Hall. "And then the king came on the flop!"

Nguyen laughed.

"Not like that!" he said.
