It's Like Chris-Mas

Matt LaGarde opens for 33,000, and Nick Niergarth makes it 68,000. Chris Bjorin then goes all in for another 185,000. LaGarde gets out of the way, and Liergarth calls.

Niergarth: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Bjorin, a very ahead: {Q-?} {Q-?}

There is one heart on the {J-?} {4-?} {5-?} flop and another on the {7-Hearts} turn, but the final non-heart {J-?} on the river was no good for Niergarth, and Bjorin doubles up.to 560,000.
