Shimamura Movin' On Up

With 25,000 already in the pot and the board showing {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Hiroshi Shimamura passed the first action to Stephen Lindeblad who moved all in for a total of 12,500. Shimamura made the call and tabled {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw. Lindeblad produced {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for top two pair.
