Sbrissa Sucks Out with Kings Against Bilokur's Ace

Level 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

From under the gun, defending champion Igor Kurganov raised to 40,000. Action moved to Victor Sbrissa, winner of the recent Latin America Poker Tour Brazil Main Event, and he shoved all in for 415,000. In the big blind, Alex Bilokur, winner of the 2012 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller, made the call. Kurganov then folded.

It was a clash of two massive hands when the cards were revealed. Sbrissa had shoved with the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}, but Bilokur woke up to the mother of all hands — the {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

On the flop, Sbrissa vaulted to the lead thanks to a big king — {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. From there, the {2-Spades} on the turn and {6-Hearts} on the river kept him in front, and Sbrissa doubled up. Bilokur was left with about 330,000 in chips.
