With action folding to Joe Tehan on the button he opted to make the blinds pay 4,000 to see the flop. Jason Somerville in the small blind had different plans and raised it up to 10,000. After the big blind folded Tehan four-bet to 20,000, to which Somerville responded with a 5-bet all in for 56,500. Tehan completed and made the call, so as is custom the cards were flipped over.

Somerville: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Tehan: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

A {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop looked perfect for Somerville, but there was still a turn and a river to come. With the {5-Hearts} on fourth street all Somerville had to do was avoid an ace or a queen and he would double up. The {8-Spades} river was a great sight for Somerville who after an initial hit earlier today is now in prime position to make a deep run.
