"Boooooooooom!"

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

The room just shook. Not because of a giant pot because of the loud shout of "BOOOOOOOOM" coming from Veli-Pekka Alakorva.

Alakorva bet 20,000 into a pot of around 50,000 on the turn with the {9-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} on the board and got a call from Dragos Trofimov. Both players checked after the {9-Hearts} completed the board on the river.

"I've got a king," said Trofimov before he turned over {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

"BOOOOOOOOM!" shouted when he saw he had a better kicker than his opponent as he turned over {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}.
