Hjorth and Demerle Both Find Cowboys

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was around 5,000 in the pot on a board of {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Dick Demerle was all in from the big blind. Action was on William Hjorth in the hijack and he asked for a count which was totaled to be 25,200.

After a few minutes of thought, Hjorth made the call.

William Hjorth: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Dick Demerle: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The entire table rejoiced as both players turned up the same hand, however, Hjorth was freerolling both a flush and a knockout with the king of hearts. Much to Demerle's satisfaction, the board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and the two chopped the pot after both being dealt pocket kings.
