Roche Finds an Ace to Crack Kings
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Kevin Roche on the button, and he raised all in for 1,220,000. The small blind Jonas Wexler made the call, and the big blind quickly folded, leaving the players heads up, with Roche at risk.
Kevin Roche: A?K? 
Jonas Wexler: K?K?
Roche ran into the pocket kings and would need help to stay in the tournament, and after the board ran out A?8?10?8?4? Roche had the best hand with two pair aces and eights to crack the kings of Wexler and double up.
