Robinson Spikes King to Double Through Mittelman

Niel Mittelman opened to 60,000 from under-the-gun and directly behind him, Nelson Robinson moved all in for 580,000 total. Everyone else folded back to Mittelman, who thought it over and called to put Robinson at risk.

Robinson: {K-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Mittelman: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The {3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop gave Mittelman a commanding lead, however, the {K-Spades} fell on the turn, giving Robinson a pair of kings to pull in front. The {3-Hearts} river changed nothing and Robinson doubled through to 1.2 million.
