King-High vs. King-High

Richard Allen raised to 50,000 from the small blind, Chris Klodnicki raised to 125,000 from the big blind, and Allen called. Both checked the {2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and {J-Diamonds} turn. The river brought the {10-Diamonds} and another check from Allen. Klodnicki bet 100,000, and Allen thought about a half-minute before calling.

Klodnicki showed {K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} for king-high, then Allen tabled his {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} — also king-high, but with a better kicker. Klodnicki stood and leaned over the table and with a perplexed look studied Allen's hand for a moment before the chips were swept Allen's way.

That hand nudges Allen in front of Klodnicki at the moment, while Edward Pham sits across the table with a stack about twice that of both of his opponents.
