Mark Vos takes the betting lead all the way on a board of {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

. On the river, Vos bet 5,200, and his opponent called with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Spades}

for a pair of tens. Vos shows {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

for a pair of kings on the river, winning the pot and increasing his stack to 52,000.

After the hand, Vos explained that he put his opponent on a pocket pair of eights or nines, and thought he could bet him off the hand. But his opponent called him down with top pair, top kicker -- and Vos sucked out with a higher pair on the river.
