DeFontes {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

Klausen

{A-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

The flop came {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

, and now DeFontes had the lead. The turn was the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, and DeFontes was looking for a four to survive. But the river brought the {K-Spades}
