Kang's Kings Nick Nitsche

With the board showing {5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and about 20,000 in the middle, Dominik Nitsche led from the blinds with a bet of 12,500, then Webber Kang raised to 33,000 from late position. Nitsche thought a beat, then set out a stack of orange (5,000) chips for a reraise to 100,000, and Kang called with the chips he had left.

"I have a jack," said Nitsche, tabling {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Kang then turned over {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for the better pair. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and river the {3-Diamonds}, and Kang scored a big double up. Despite that hit, however, Nitsche continues to sport one of the bigger stacks in the room.
