His Heart Will Go On

Rene Angelil moved all in from the big blind for his remaining 15,300 on a flop of {8-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Spades} and the button made the call.

Angelil showed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} for the overpair while the button turned up {8-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} for top pair and an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the {10-Spades}, but the {9-Clubs} on the river made the button's straight, eliminating Angelil.
