The Fat Lady has Not Sung

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We happened upon the action with 45,000 and a flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}. All we know is that Rachid Ben Cherif had the "all in" button in front of him in the hijack and Steve Sung, who was in the small blind, was thinking what to do. Cherif had the bigger stack and Sung had about 135,000 back.

Eventually Kyle Julius called the clock and about halfway through Sung spiked in his chips and turned over the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Cherif then showed the {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and was looking to dodge an ace and king to eliminate Sung. He did so on the {5-Clubs} turn as well as the {3-Clubs}. Unfortunately for Cherif, and to the good fortune of Sung, those two cards put a straight on the board and the pot was chopped.
