Chris Klodnicki completed with the {A-Diamonds}

, then Jon Turner raised him with the {3-Hearts}

showing, Klodnicki called. Klodnicki then check-called fourth street, where he picked up the {J-Clubs}

and Turner the {7-Hearts}

.

On fifth, Klodnicki was dealt the {2-Spades}

and Turner the {J-Clubs}

. Klodnicki checked, Turner bet, and Klodnicki went into the tank. Finally he folded, and Turner showed his hole cards: {A-Hearts}

. He'd had a pair of jacks and a heart flush draw.

That hand knocks Klodnicki down to a precarious 55,000.
