In a pot that was bloated to well over 40,000, the board read Q♥A♦8♥K♠ and Christophe Panetti placed a bet of 18,400. His opponent thought for quite some time before he called.
Action slowed when a third heart presented itself on the river in the form of the 4♥ and both players checked.
Panetti turned over the K♥K♦ for top set and his opponent nodded knowingly, showing the Q♦Q♠.
"I was hoping you had ace king..."
Espen Jorstad raised it up on the button and was called by the small blind and Bill Klein in the big blind. The flop fell Q♦J♦2♥ and the blinds checked to Jorstad who continued with a bet of 1,400. The small blind called and Klein check-raised to 4,400. Both Jorstad and the small blind still called.
The turn was the 9♣ and Klein led out with a bet of 3,500. Jorstad called and the small blind got out of the way. The 8♣ completed the board and both players tapped the table. Klein showed Q♣7♦ for top pair but Jorstad held A♠Q♥ for the better kicker.
