Damm Gambles For Big Stack

Catching the action on the turn with the board reading {3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{9-Spades} Kenneth Damm popped his opponent's 2,000-chip bet to make it 7,000 to go. He was met with an all-in response for 23,475.

After a few moments of consideration, and safe in the knowledge that there's "always the repechage", Damm made a gambling call.

Damm: {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

Needing a four, an eight or a heart for a monster stack, Damm bricked out on the {3-Diamonds} river to be left with just 9,000 in chips.
