Linton Gets Kings Cracked
Level 29
: 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante
We have already seen pocket aces cracked and now we have seen pocket kings smashed to pieces.
Jakub Michalak opened to 250,000 with 
and Alban Juen three-bet to 595,000 with 
. Pete Linton then woke up with 
and four-bet to 1,300,000! The pot was already huge when Michalak moved all in for 4,750,000 and grew larger still when Linton called!
The 
flop gave Michalak outs to a Broadway straight, meaning Linton had to avoid improving to a set otherwise he would double Michalak up. The 
on the turn was as safe as a card Linton could have hoped for, but the 
was the river card, completing a straight for Michalak and gifting the Pole a huge pot.
