Saout Avoids Cracked Kings on the River

Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Antoine Saout moved all in for 81,000 in early position and Fabian Schmidt called in the big blind.
Antoine Saout: K?K?
Fabian Schmidt: Q?J?
The Q?J?4? flop was a disaster for Saout as Schmidt hit top two pair. The 3? turn left him one card away from elimination, but the 3? river gave him a higher two pair and a double up.
