Kevin Berthelsen raised to 5,500 in early position and was called by three players including one player seated to his immediate left.

The flop came out {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and action checked to Berthelsen who bet 8,000. The player to his left moved all-in for 190,000 and action came around to Berthelsen who was covered. After thinking about it for a bit he called.

Kevin Berthelsen: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Opponent: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Berthelsen's hand was not affected by the {k-Hearts} on the turn, but the river {5-Hearts} gave Berthelsen a straight and he was able to double up through his opponent.
