On a board showing {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

, David Frieling checked to Joel Cohen who fired a 25,000 bet from the button. Frieling then check-raised to 70,000 and Cohen moved all in for a tiny bit more. Frieling made the call and the cards hit their backs:

Frieling: {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

Cohen:

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

Behind and at risk, Cohen would need some help to stay alive, and that's exactly what he got. The turn brought an inconsequential {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

but the river delivered the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, giving both players two pair, kings and fives, with an ace kicker.
