King Kongsgaard Taken Down

It was folded around to Raul Paez in the small blind who completed before Soren Kongsgaard checked his option in the big blind. The flopped came down {4-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs}.

Paez check-raised Kongsgaard's 2,000 bet up to 10,000 before Kongsgaard reraised up to 28,000. Very quickly, Paez moved all in for 130,700.

Kongsgaard obviously had a big decision and he talked through different options of what Paez might have hoping to get a read. He eventually made the huge call with {4-Spades} {3-Spades} but was loathe to see Paez turn over {8-Spades} {4-Clubs}.

The turn came {K-Clubs} and river {A-Clubs} to send the huge pot Paez's way. He's now up to 262,200 whereas Kongsgaard is down to just 8,500.
