Somer-thrilled By the River

We were surprised to see Jason Somerville has been broken into the Red section, and we caught him involved in a pot when we walked over to check on him. There was a flop of {8-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts} on board, and Somerville was heads up with a female opponent. One of them had bet 1,550 on that flop and the other had shoved, though we're not sure which player was doing which action. Either way, all of the lady's ~8,500 chips ended up in the pot with Somerville covering her.

Showdown
Somerville: {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

The lady was in the lead with her kicker, and he was looking for a much-needed double up. The turn {10-Hearts} was a blank, but the river came the {Q-Clubs} to give Somerville the unlikely three-out win and the knockout. He's back up to about 24,000 now.
