With the board showing {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

and 75,000 already in the middle, Dale Hoy checked, and Ferdinand Quelle bet 70,000. Hoy called.

The river brought the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

. Hoy again checked, and this time Quelle bet 170,000. Hoy agonized for a minute or two as he considered what to do. "Do you have two pair?" he asked Quelle. No response. "Maybe a flush draw that missed?" Again, nothing.

Finally Hoy made the call. Quelle showed his {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

, and Hoy turned over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

to take the pot. Hoy is up over 800,000, while Quelle has slipped to 170,000.
