Runner-Runner? Always "Funner".

To the all in player, a win's a win, but we imagine that even Robert Bechara found this one a bit dirty. He reraised all in over the top of an open-shove from a short stack sitting on 23,900. Bechara's isolation move worked, leaving Bechara and his opponent alone going into the flop. Bechara showed {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} against his opponent's pocket fives. The flop hit them both, {10-Spades} {5-Clubs} {A-Hearts}, but Bechara went runner-runner {J-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} to make a Broadway straight and knock out his opponent.

We imagine that, if Craig Marquis is reading, he just winced in shared pain with Bechara's opponent.
