Aces vs. Kings

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Ben Lamb opened to 135,000 from early position, Guillaume Darcourt three-bet to 285,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Lamb who immediately called. The flop came down {6-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and Lamb checked to Darcourt who continued for 300,000. Lamb called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, and Lamb knuckled again. Darcourt tossed out 425,000, and Lamb called.

Lamb checked a third time after the {9-Hearts} paired the board on the river, and this time Darcourt decided to check behind. Lamb opened up two kings, but Darcourt rolled over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for a pair of aces! The entire table was wide-eyed at the sight of the two players' hands, and Darcourt and Lamb shared a laugh while the Frenchman pulled in the pot.
