Kings, Kings, and More Kings

After one player limped in from early position, Paris Heard raised to 750. Then, Brian "tsarrast" Rast reraised to 1,650 and only Heard made the call.

With the board running out {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts}, Heard led out with bets on every street. He bet the flop for 2,100, the turn for 3,200, and the river for 3,200. Rast came along with a call each time.

At the showdown, Heard tabled two kings, {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. Rast showed pocket queens and lost the hand, dropping to 21,500 in the process. This was the third hand in a row where Heard held pocket kings. When he showed his hand, the entire table was in awe. He's now up to 42,000.
