Kiers Hits Half a Million
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Martijn Kiers opened from early position to 10,000 and Stanislav Ivanov three-bet to 32,500 from the small blind. Kiers then put in a four-bet to around 65,000, and Ivanov shoved for roughly 140,000. Kiers snap-called.
Stanislav Ivanov: K♥K♦ 
Martijn Kiers: Q♣Q♥
Ivanov was in great shape to score a late double-up, but the flop of Q♦A♣2♠ severely dampened his plans as Kiers improved to middle set. An 8♥ on the turn wasn't any help to Ivanov, and neither was the 8♣ river, which meant he was eliminated and Kiers' stack grew to around half a million.
