The turn was {4-Diamonds} and Adams bet 70,000. Yeazell called quickly and Malone mucked his hand. The river came {2-Clubs}.

Both players checked the river to get to a showdown. Adams turned over {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a pair of queens, but Yeazell had {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} to take the pot with a better kicker.
