Level 11

Morten Klein: K♠Q♦
Jean-Noel Thorel: A♣Q♠
Klein was in rough shape against Thorel's bigger queen but hit exactly what he needed when he made top pair on the K♥9♠10♣ flop. He managed to fade Thorel's live ace and straight draw on the 10♠ turn and 3♦ river to receive a full double up at Thorel's expense.
