Tarango Picks Up with Kings

Level 1 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Aaron Mermelstein opened to 1,800 and Brevin Andreadis defended his small blind.

The 352 flop saw Andreadis check, Mermelstein bet 2,500 and Andreadis fold, passing an early pot Mermelstein's way.

In the next hand Jeremy Druckman opened to 1,800 and Billy Tarango defended his small blind.

The 28Q flop saw Tarango check-call a 2,300 bet by Druckman to see the J turn. Both made quick checks to the 7 river and again to showdown. Tarango said "Kings" and tabled his KKA6 which was enough for Druckman to muck.
