Tuffing Cracks Kings
A player from early position opened to 2,800 which was called by a player in middle position and Dave Tuffing in the hijack. Then once folded to the button, he three-bet to 7,000. The player in early position called, the middle postion player folded, and Tuffing made the call as well.
The flop came 5♦8♣7♥ and after the player in early position checked, Tuffing lead out for 20,000. The player on the button then announced all in for 22,200. The player in early position got out of the way, and Tuffing called.
Button: K♦K♣ 
Dave Tuffing: K♥6♥
Tuffing was behind the pocket kings but could improve to a straight with a nine or four. Tuffing didn't have to wait long as the 9♦ hit the turn leaving the player on the button drawing dead. The J♥ on the river officially eliminated the player and gave Tuffing the pot.
