Kings Are Good for Bogdanov

Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Yulian Bogdanov on the button, and he raised to 50,000, which was called by the small blind Paulo Mendez.
Both players checked after the 10?8?10? flop, which brought the 7?. Mendez then bet out 50,000, and Bogdanov raised to 150,000. Mendez called to see a river.
The river brought the A? and both players checked to showdown. Mendez turned over 9?8? for two pair tens and eights, but Bogdanov had the winner when he tabled K?K? to take the pot with his two pair kings and tens.
