Nanonoko Navigating the Minefield

Action folded to a short-stacked player on the button and he moved all in for around 5,000. Randy Lew was in the big blind and made the quick call.

Lew: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Button: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}

Lew was primed to eliminate his opponent as the flop came down {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. All diamonds were out on the board, but it was of no consequence as neither players held a diamond in their hand. The {5-Hearts} turn changed nothing, while the {J-Hearts} river gave Lew the knockout. He is up to 22,000.
