Ted Forrest Wins a Race

Action folded around to the player in the cutoff seat, who moved all in for 5,900. Ted Forrest made the call from the button . The players showed:

Forrest: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The board filled out {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Forrest took it down. As he stacked the chips, he declared "I was pretty sure he had a small pair." Forrest is now a force with just shy of 12,000.
