Aces Versus Kings; Tolokno Sick

Jeff Hakim raises to 225, Konstantin Tolokno calls before Kayhan Sardan three-bets to 950 in late position. The big blind and Hakim make the call before Tolokno surprises everyone with a four-bet to 3,850. Sardan dumps around 8,500 into the pot, the big blind and Hakim fold and the decision is back to Tolokno.

"All-in," mouthed Tolokno.

Sardan makes the call, "Aces versus Kings," says Hakim and he was right.

It was Tolokno with the aces and Sardan with the kings. So Tolokno was looking good for a double up – and the chip lead – until a cruel king hit the board to reduce our WPT Vienna runner-up to just 1,400 chips.
