Getzwiller Gets There and Doubles Through Criego

Joe Kuether came in for a raise to 80,000 in middle position and it folded around to Sean Getzwiller, who shoved all in for 435,000. It folded to Bill Criego on the button, who made the call for half his stack. When it came back to Kuether, he asked Criego for a count on his stack, then reluctantly folded. The cards were flipped and Getzwiller was well behind.

Getzwiller: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Criego: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Getzwiller needed a ton of help and he didn't catch any on the flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. However, he spiked the {q-Spades} on the turn to give him the huge lead. The river was the {j-Clubs} and Getziller got the double up to just under one million.
