Kings Checked Down

A middle-position player raised to 700 and found a caller in the form of Engelberth Varela in the hijack. The big blind then exercised his option with a three-bet to 2,000, which both his opponents called. All three players proceeded to check every street as the board ran out {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

The big blind was first to show and flipped up {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The rest of the table let out a collective laugh, most likely wondering why he would check down such a powerful hand. Nonetheless, it was good as both the MP player and Varela mucked. The latter is still flying high however, sitting on a stack of 48,000.
