Level 14 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to the small blind Ivan Emanuely who moved all in for his stack of 515,000, and the big blind Cole Keenan made the call to put him at risk.

Ivan Emanuely: Q♠10♦ All in
Cole Keenan: K♠9♥

Keenan was ahead with his king-high, and after the J♠6♥9♣ flop, Keenan improved to a pair of nines, but the flop gave Emanuely an open-ended straight draw, along with his two overcards as outs. But the board ran out 5♦ on the turn, and 7♥ on the river, and the pair of nines of Keenan were good enough to take the pot and knock out Emanuely.
