Knebel Stuns Kesidis on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Paul Knebel in the small blind and Ratmir Kesidis in the cutoff got all their chips in the middle preflop, Kesidis having Knebel's remaining 820,000 covered as he went for the knockout.
Paul Knebel: J♠J♦ 
Ratmir Kesidis: Q♣Q♦
Kesidis had Knebel dominated and was poised to collect another big pot as the board came 3♦6♣9♣2♠, but Knebel spiked the J♣ on the river.
"No!" Kesidis shouted out, slamming the table in frustration before handing over the double up.
