donpeters

Wai Yuen raised to 22,000 from middle position and Jani Karke moved all in from the small blind for 43,000 total. Eric Mutrie folded in the big blind and Yuen made the call.

Yuen: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

Karke:

{A-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

The flop was big for Karke despite the two players having the same holding, {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

. Karke needed a diamond to double up.

The turn was the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and the river the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

. The two players chopped the pot with a straight.
