Hanks to the Bank

Level 24

Stud

Brent Hanks completed with the {A-Clubs}, and Eric Buchman three-bet with the {J-Hearts}. Hanks four-bet it, and Buchman paused and called to proceed.

Hanks: {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} / {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} / (x)
Buchman: {j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} / {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / (x)

We show you all the cards because Hanks' fourth-street bet put him all in for 27,000. He was in front with his pair of aces, and he'd hold the lead all the way through. Buchman picked up a flush draw on sixth street, but his last down card was the blank {A-Diamonds}. That secured Hanks' double, and he flipped over his {6-Spades} as the dealer pushed him the pot. He's back to 219,000 now and back out of the basement.
