Tamayo Says Ta-Ta To Opponent

Facing a raise to 1,025, Jonathan Tamayo three-bet to 3,000 from the big blind.

His opponent jammed all in for roughly 20,000 and Tamayo made the call.

Tamayo: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop left Tamayo in trouble needing one of his two remaining kings or a combination of backdoor straight or flush cards.

Fortunately for Tamayo, the dealer delivered the {Q-Spades} on the turn to complete one of his backdoor draws, and when the {J-Clubs} landed on the river, Tamayo eliminated his opponent while climbing to 63,500 in chips.
