Action folded around to Scott Montgomery on the button and he raised to 30,000. Ben Roberts, playing from the small blind, checked his hole cards and then pushed his whole stack of about 150,000 into the center. The big blind passed but Montgomery made the call. The players showed:

Roberts: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Montgomery: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

The flop came {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} giving Montgomery a huge lead in the hand. Roberts needed to catch of two remaining kings if he were to stay alive. The turn and river were no help as they fell the {5-Spades} and {7-Hearts} respectively. Roberts made a graceful exit, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries on his way out. Montgomery stacked up to just over 1,300,000 chips.
