Joe Bartholdi Takes A Hit

On a board of {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {5-Spades} Joe Bartholdi calls an all in raise for 11,000 from his opponent.

Bartholdi shows {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for bottom pair and an open-ended straight draw while his opponent flips over {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} for top set.

The river is the {2-Clubs}, missing Bartholdi completely. He is now down to 2,000.
