Peter Kiem moves all in under the gun for 785,000, Patrik Demus calls button, and Khorshad Sagor moves all in from the big blind for about 3,460,000. Demus folds, saying he had pocket eights.

Kiem turns over , and he needs to improve to stay alive against Sagor’s .

The board comes , and Kiem rivers a queen-high straight to win the pot and triple up in chips.

Peter Kiem  –  2,555,000  (20 bb)
Khorshad Sagor  –  2,660,000  (21 bb)

Sagor has just had pocket aces and pocket kings on back-to-back hands, and lost both times.
