Level 11: 1,000/2,000/2,000

The board read {10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} with around 60,000 in the middle. The player in the small blind was sitting in the tank after having checked and was facing a shove of Justin Arnwine in the cutoff with the bigger stack. After a while, he opted to call but mucked and got up from his chair when Arnwine tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for two pair.
