Kings Deliver Kapeller a Lifeline
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
The action folded around to Siegfried Kapeller in the small blind, who limped in. Tjenno Eskes was in the big blind and checked his option.
They saw a flop of 4?2?8? where Kapeller checked and Eskes fired 100,000. Kapeller called.
When the K? dropped on the turn, Kapeller checked again, then Eskes bet 240,000. Kapeller only had 645,000 remaining in his stack and pushed them all into the pot, then Eskes snap-called.
Siegfried Kapeller: K?K? 
Tjenno Eskes: 8?4?
Kapeller had turned top set to leave the two pair of Eskes drawing dead. The 5? on the river was just a formality, and Kapeller got back on track with a much-needed double-up.
