Following a flop of Ks9s2h, a player in middle position was all in for 26,800 with Kd10c for a pair of kings against Carlos Rodriguez on the button who held AhAd.

The Kc turn and Qh river completed the board, giving Rodriguez’s opponent trip kings to double up. Down to about 31,000, Rodriguez busted shortly thereafter.

At a nearby table, with a min-raise to 3,200 and a three-bet to 7,000 in front of him, Pasquale Caiazza four-bet all in for about 65,000 from the button. Scott Swatscheno, the initial raiser, isolated the pot with KcKh, trailing Caiazza’s AdAh.

The board came down Ks3dJs2s7s, giving Swatscheno a set of kings to score the elimination.

Scott Swatscheno – 205,000
Carlos Rodriguez – Eliminated
Pasquale Caiazza – Eliminated
