Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With a fresh starting stack, Tony Dunst was facing a raise of 6,500 which he moved all in against for about 25,000. The previous raiser, Shigeho Yoshioka, quickly made the call and their hands were revealed.

Tony Dunst: Q♥Q♦
Shigeho Yoshioka: A♣K♥

The flop jumped Yoshioka in front as the K♦A♠4♣ fanned out and Dunst started collecting his belongings, as his potential of catching a queen quickly died with the A♥ on the turn. The 6♥ that fell as the last card changed nothing and Yoshioka now appears to be amongst the chip leaders.
