Great Flop, Horrible Turn, Ugly River

Preflop, Stephane Hornet limped in and Marc Karam made it 1,200 to go. Hornet called and saw a flop of {Q-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Karam fired 2,000 into the pot. Hornet called and the {6-Spades} landed on the river. Karam fired out 50,000 and Hornet moved all in for an additional 15,300. Karam called and showed {7-Spades} {8-Clubs} for a turned straight while Hornet held pocket fours for a flopped set that rivered a boat.

After the hand, Karam is down to 70,000 and Hornet is up to 160,000.
