Dallying with Dawley

Carl Merkling and Jessica Dawley tangled up in a preflop raising war that left Merkling all in for about 55,000, and Dawley making the call to put his tournament life on the line and a pot of about 110,000 chips up for grabs:

Merkling: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Dawley: {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}

There was no funny stuff on the board of {7-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Spades}, and Merkling snags his double up. Dawley has now slipped down around into his chip range with 115,000 left in her stack.
