Joyce Sends Zhechev to the Rail
Nivel 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Ivan Zhechev raised to 10,000 from middle position with Philip Joyce three-betting to 22,000 from the next seat. After it folded back to Zhechev, he four-bet shoved for roughly 150,000. Joyce snap-called.
Ivan Zhechev: A♠Q♠ 
Philip Joyce: K♣K♥
Joyce was ahead with pocket kings and needed to fade an ace or some spades to bust Zhechev. The flop of A♥K♦8♠ may have given Zhechev top pair, but Joyce hit a set of kings to take a commanding lead.
The 3♠ turn offered Zhechev with a possible flush draw, but the 5♣ river didn't help him. Zhechev was sent out the door and Joyce dragged in the pot.
