Aaron Gordon Sends Two Players Home

A short-stacked Thierry van den Berg moved all in from late position and Kristian Obbarius, next to act, called all in behind. Aaron Gordon, who had them both covered, called from the cutoff and the blinds folded. The players showed:

Van den Berg: {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs}
Obbarius: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
Gordon: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}

The board ran out {K-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} and Gordan's kings were best. He eliminated both of his opponents and chipped up to approximately 450,000 in the process.
