El Meray Has Tran Beat by One

Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Heads-up on a flop of K?4?9?, Mehdi El Meray bet 2,500 on the button before Minh Hieu Tran raised out of the small blind to 7,000.
El Meray called to the 2? turn, where Tran slowed down and checked. El Meray then fired out 11,000 and Tran called.
The river came the 6? and Tran checked yet again. El Meray checked back this time and Tran showed K?J?. El Meray, though, had K?Q? to win the pot with his pair of kings, queen-kicker.
