Testud Shows Fortitude

We arrived to see Matias Kaalpinen either betting or raising, with the board read {K-Spades} {4-Spades} {7-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Kaalpinen had pushed 20,000 into the middle. Paul Testud shoved for a total of 35,000, Kaalpinen called, and then looked most unhappy as Testud turned over his hand.

Testud: {9-Spades} {7-Spades}
Kaalpinen: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

River: {8-Hearts}

Testud doubled up to around 90,000; Kaalpinen dips to 150,000.
