Brutal Beat for "genbengLee": Aces Cracked by Kings

Yori Epskamp

Level 18 : 100,000/200,000, 20,000 ante

Aces versus kings, one of the classic setups in poker, is always nasty to lose. It happens once out of five times, but having it happen with 20 players remaining in a WSOP bracelet event with over $3.5M HKD up top is the stuff of nightmares.

It just happened to "genbengLee", who saw Luis "Xapilskinha" Assuncao Garla spike a king on the turn to dismantle his rockets and be left with just 800k in chips.
