Classic Race

Michael Schwartz moved all in preflop and was called by Alan Dekenson. It was a classic race when they turned over their cards:

Dekenson: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Schwartz: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}

Dekenson was the one all in for 41,300, which would leave Dekenson with only 12,000 if he were to lose. The flop came {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, keeping Dekenson in the lead. Schwartz was looking for an ace or king and received neither when the {3-Diamonds} came on the turn.

The river card held Dekenson's tournament life in the balance. The dealer burned and revealed the {5-Clubs}. Dekenson doubled to more than 84,000 while Schwartz was suddenly a short stack.
