Vener Runs Kings Into Aces

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

The inevitable kings-versus-aces setup left Scott Vener's Main Event hopes in jeopardy, as he clashed with table neighbor Ming Xi, and Vener was covered by a small margin when the chips went in before the flop.

Scott Vener: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Ming Xi: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Vener was eliminated, the dealer wanted to rush away the board, but Vener asked to take a picture of the showdown.

"He was a nice guy, let him do it," Xi insisted, and after the obligatory setup picture, Vener headed to the payout desk.
