Sapra walks into Pearce’s trap

A player from utg+2 opens to 6,000 and India’s Sumit Sapra 3-bets to 19,000 from the hijack. From the cutoff, however, Shane Pearce of Australia goes for a 4-bet shove for his remaining 66,000. The original raiser folds and Sapra—who barely covers Pearce—makes the call.
Pearce shows K♦ K♥ while a disgruntled Sapra tables J♣ J♠ .
The runout provided no sweat for the Australian: 7♦ 6♣ 9♦ 9♠ 5♣ .
Sapra’s stack has now fallen below 20,000.
