Matt Alexander made it 3,500 under the gun and Joe Ford three-bet to 8,500 in middle position. Rick Syverud thought a bit and cold-called in the cutoff, and Alexander wanted to see the flop as well. It came {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and action checked to Syverud. He bet 22,000. Alexander mucked but Ford called. The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Syverud said he was all in after Ford checked.

"I thought you might have ace-queen when you tanked," Ford remarked.

Ford thought for a good two or three minutes and then verbalized a call.

"You called it," Syverud said, flipping {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}.

A disappointed Ford showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}. He needed a king on the river but it was a {7-Clubs}. Ford had about 120,000, which Syverud covered.
