Niels Herregodts opened the action with a raise from the cutoff, and once the button and small blind folded, Smith Collins moved all in. Herregodts snap-called and the cards were turned on their backs.

Niels Herregodts: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Smith Collins: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Board: {9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

"I think there is going to be a nine on the flop," said Collins just before the board was laid down, and he was correct. The nine in the window put him into the lead, but the ten on the turn put Herregodts into a shock lead, and he held to eliminate Collins cruelly.
