Alban Wakes Up with Kings
Level 37
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Action folded around to Joshua Payne in the small blind, who moved all in, putting Joseph Alban at risk in the big blind. Alban, who had 7,800,000 total, made the call.
Joseph Alban: K♣K♦ 
Joshua Payne: A♦3♦
The flop came 5♦10♠4♣, with Payne picking up additional outs with a gutshot. The 4♦ turn provided even more outs, now giving Payne flush outs with a diamond.
The 9♥ river was a blank, and Alban's pair of kings held to earn him the pot, and the double up.
