Schleger's Kings Hold

A player in early position raised to 525 and was called by the player to his left. Shane Schleger raised to 1,900 and both players made the call.

Tha flop fell {3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and both players checked to Schleger, who bet 3,400. Only one of his two opponents made the call. That player checked the {7-Clubs} on the turn and Schleger pushed the rest of his chips in the pot.

The player immediately called and confidently turned up {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Unfortunately for him, he was far behind Schleger's {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}. The river was the {J-Hearts} and Schleger eliminated and opponent while increasing his stack to 28,000.
