David Semless opened to 4,000 in early position, and Matthew Golin announced all in for 19,200 on the button. Action folded back to Semless, who took a moment before making the call.

Matthew Golin: JJ All in
David Semless: KQ

Golin's pocket pair stayed in front through the 977 flop, but Semless clapped as the 4 turn completed his club draw. Golin was unable to improve on the 10 river, and Semless scored the knockout.
