Boyan Stamenov raised under the gun to 20,000, the UTG+1 player reraised to 65,000, and Stamenov four-bet all in for 153,000.

The UTG+1 player called with 7s7h, and Stamenov turned over KsKh. Stamenov needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came Ad10h8d3h2h, and the pocket kings held up for Stamenov to win the pot and double up in chips.
