Kings into Aces for Albert Kim

Albert Kim picked up cowboys at the wrong time. He raised to 45,000 from early position. Mark Owens popped it up to 145,000. Everyone else folded back to Kim, who raised enough to put Owens all in. He snap-called and tabled pocket rockets. Kim flopped a set, but so did Owens when the flop came down {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {9-?}. The turn and river fell {10-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}, allowing Owens' set of aces to hold up. He moves up to 970,000, while Kim drops down to 1,275,000.
