Kern Doubles With Kings
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Darius Samual raised from early position to 5,500 before Martin Utikal three-bet to 13,000 from the hijack. Herbert Kern called from the big blind and Samuai four-bet to 55,500. This forced a fold from Utikal but a shove from Kern for roughly 115,000. Samuai called to put Kern at risk.
Herbert Kern: K?K? 
Darius Samual: A?Q?
The kings held up on the 4?3?7?6?3? runout and Kern had doubled, while Samuai was left very short-stacked.
