Kevin Bakhtiari: {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Ernesto Knocks One Out

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A player was all in for 36,000 from under the gun and both the player on the button and Javier Ernesto in the big blind had chips in front of them that were equal to a call. Ernesto and the player on the button checked down the {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds} runout.

All-In Player: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Javier Ernesto: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The player on the button sent his cards into the muck pile and thus they were not exposed as Ernesto won the pot with ace-high and finds himself among the largest stacks in the room.
