The aftermath...

A monster pot just went down at the live stream feature table. Three players were all in before the flop holding [Ah][As] vs. [Kc][Kh] vs. [Kd][Ks].

The player with the aces had both players covered and the flop came down [Td][Th][9s].

The turn was the [Qd] and both players holding the kings started yelling for a jack.

The dealer put out the river card and it was the [Jc].

The table erupted in shock as the players holding kings caught runner runner for a straight to chop the pot and stay alive with only 15 players remaining.
