Action picked up on the flop of K♥10♦Q♠ in a hand between Sandro Boos in middle position and Mark Hatcher in the cutoff.

Boos sized down with a bet of 10,000 and Hatcher made the call. The river landed the 5♣ and Boos bet enough to put Hatcher all in who had 18,000 behind.

Hatcher quickly folded and Boos showed K♦K♣ for a full house, kings full of queens.
