With a board reading {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Spades}, the action checked to Kyle Frey in a head-up pot with about 5,300 in the middle and he put in a bet of 4,200. His opponent called to see the {8-Spades} on the river.

Once the opponent checked Frey fired again, this time for 10,000 and it didn't take much time before he mucked his hand, awarding the pot to Frey.
