Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 7♦3♠2♠ and a player in for 31,200, and Harry Korotki calling to put him at risk.

All In Player: 9♠9♣ All in
Harry Korotki: K♥K♦

Korotki opponent ran into his pocket kings and would need to improve to stay in the tournament. But when the board ran out 5♣ on the turn, and A♠ on the river, the pocket kings of Korotki were still best, and he eliminated in his opponent.
