edit: the turn raise almost eliminates KK and QQ from PB's range imo. What kind of hand is he hoping utg will fold? Retards don't fold diamonds in big pots. Looks like a raise to charge a draw to me.

KK could be raising for value here against an aggressive tricky opponent

Even when the opponent is aggro and tricky (which the read does not specify), when he five-bet caps the flop, bet/threebets the flop against a TAG and a calling station and leads the turn (still into a TAG and a calling station) on a A23 monotone board, he has a hand with an ace in it a majority of the time. Notice i didn't say PB never has KK here, but I think it needs to be discounted lots, especially since villain isn't described as tricky or aggro.
