Kiivramees Backs into Chop

We've seen some curious lines during the course of this tournament and the hand recently played between Steven Fung and Janar Kiivramees definitely qualifies. Kiivramees opened for 71,000 preflop and was called by Fung out of the big blind. On a flop of {8-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Spades}, Fung led into Kiivramees for one-third of the pot, 54,000. Kiivramees shifted in his chair slightly and then called.

Both players quickly checked the {7-Spades} turn and the {2-Hearts} river. Fung seemed sure he had lost the hand, turning over {K-Hearts} {J-Spades}. But Kiivramees mustered only {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts}. Each player played two pair, sevens and deuces with a king kicker. The pot was therefore chopped.
