Combes Cracks Pearson's Cowboys
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Robert Davies opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Timothy Slater called from the cutoff before Trevor Pearson three-bet to 14,500 out of the small blind. Charles Combes then shoved from the big blind for 151,000, which got two quick folds out of Davies & Slater, and a snap-call out of Pearson.
Charles Combes: A?K? 
Trevor Pearson: K?K?
Whoever won the pot would leap to the top of the counts, and it was Combes' advantage after the 4?A?2? flop gave him top pair. Pearson only had one out, but couldn't find it as the 3?4? runout meant his Cowboys went down in flames.
