State Busts as Kings Prevail
Level 15
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The hand began with Bleron Maliqi raising to 6,000, and Shaun Deeb coming along from the small blind. But Adrian State in the big blind wasn't messing around—he shoved all-in for over 50,000. Maliqi made the call, while Deeb let his cards go.
Adrian State: A♥J♠
Bleron Maliqi: A♠K♣
The flop looked good for State as it landed J♦10♠4♣, giving him a pair of jacks. But the turn brought the K♦, flipping the script in Maliqi’s favor with a pair of kings. The 6♥ on the river sealed the deal, and State was sent packing.
