Kuether Continues To Crush

Joe Kuether has been at the top of the chip counts all day, and the dinner break hasn't slowed him down, as he just knocked out another player. Action folded to the player on the button, who raised to 31,000. Joe Kuether thought for about 15 seconds before putting in a raise to 88,000 total. The big blind asked for a count, then tanked for a minute. Eventually, he slid the rest of his stack in, 198,000 total. The button folded, and Kuether quickly made the call.

Kuether: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Kuether was in great shape, and while he paired his king on the flop of {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}, he still wasn't out of the woods, as his opponent picked up a broadway draw. The {6-Spades} on the turn took one of those outs away, and the {7-Hearts} on the river sealed the hand. Kuether collected the bounty, and is now sitting on 1.4 million.
