A King is Good Enough for Dainton

Luke Dainton made it 1,400 to go from early position and received two callers: Minwoong Jeong from the cutoff and Jae Geun Lim from the small blind.
Three players checked through the flop of 4♠ J♥ 3♠ to see an A♥ fall on the turn, where Lim checked to Dainton, who sent a bet of 2,500. Jeon then put in a raise to 12,500, and only Dainton dropped in a call.
The river revealed a board-pairing A♠ and it went check-check. Dainton showed K♣ Q♣ for king-high, and this was enough to make Jeong muck the hand.

Dainton Hooks Collects the Pot
The flop filled out 9♠ 5♥ 7♦ with around 2,000 chips in the pot. All three players Luke Dainton from the small blind, Wisinee Tanpichai from the big blind, and Rishi Mirpuri from under the gun checked through.
The 3♦ hit on the turn, where Dainton bet 1,500 and only Tanpichai made the call to see the 2♥ river. Dainton sent a barrel of 3,000 and Tanpichai called.
Tanpichai showed a flopped pair of nines with A♥ 9♥ , but it wasn’t match for the pocket jacks from Dainton.
