LaDarren Banks opens to 8,000 in early position and the player on the button three-bets to 25,000. Banks calls.

The flop comes Spade ADiamond 10Club 4 and Banks announces he’s all in, overbetting to put his opponent to a decision for his remaining 104,000. The player thinks for a while and calls.

Banks shows Heart ADiamond K for top pair, top kicker, pipping his opponent’s Club AHeart Q. The turn is the Spade 7 and the river is the Diamond 7, giving both players aces up with Banks’s king kicker making the difference in the hand.

LaDarren Banks – 301,500 (101 bb)
