Lavin's Kings Hold for the Knockout
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Glen Minnick in the cutoff who limped in, before Michael Lavin raised to 12,000 on the button. Then the small blind three-bet all in. The big blind folded, as did Minnick. Lavin quickly made the call to put the small blind at risk.
Small Blind: 9♠9♦ 
Michael Lavin: K♦K♣
Lavin was in great shape to get a knockout with his pocket kings. When the board ran out 4♥7♠8♠4♠10♦ his kings were still best and eliminated his opponent.
