Defending Champ Runs into Kings

Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Juan Pardo put in his short stack from under the gun and was called by Mikalai Vaskaboinikau from the button. The blinds got out of the way and the cards were tabled.
Juan Pardo: A?8?
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: K?K?
Pardo paired up on the 9?8?6? flop but remained behind. The 3? turn and the Q? river gave Vaskaboinikau the checkmark and the defending champion bowed out.
