Ace-King No Good on Two Tables

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jacek Pustula got his last 171,000 in the middle from the big blind and was up against Denis Matafonov.

Jacek Pustula: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Denis Matafonov: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Matafonov found no help on the {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} board and Pustula doubled up.

At the same time on another table, Furkan Beg was all in for around 270,000 against Halil Baybars.

Furkan Beg: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Halil Baybars: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Beg, like Matafonov, was looking to connect with his ace-king but couldn't find anything on the {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} board. He slammed his hand on the table before heading to the exit near the end of the night.
