The River is the {6-Hearts}

Billy checks again and Nick bets. Billy calls and Nick shows {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Billy mucks {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} face up.

Chip counts

John Juan is out and we are heads up

After losing the majority of his chips with KJ on a board of K,A,10,8,9 to Nick Sutars 99, John is forced all in on the SB for his last $7,000.
