And Then There Were Two

Matt Carci just won his match, after both players agreed to go all in blind. Before both players looked at their hole cards the dealer spread a {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} board. It was then that each player took turns flipping over one card. Carci first flipped the {q-Diamonds} while his opponent showed a {9-Hearts}. Carci held the lead with the his queens. Carci flipped over the {j-Clubs} for a straight and his opponent couldn't counter as he squeezed out a {10-Clubs}. Both players graciously wished each other good luck and parted ways.
