Kent Hunter moved all in from the small blind, and Farhad Kia made the call from the big, sliding his last 120,000 chips into the middle and putting his tournament life in the balance. Hunter flipped over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

, while Kia's {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

was behind but drawing live.

The flop added a few more outs for the all-in Kia, coming down {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

. The turn was a timely {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

, vaulting him into the lead and putting him one step away from a double up. When the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

hit the river, he locked up the pot, increasing his stack twofold to 240,000. Hunter is back on 206,000.
