Knebel Wins a Flip
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Karsten Knoebel opened the cutoff and Paul Knebel shoved the big blind for 625,000. After some thinking, Knoebel called.
Paul Knebel: K♥10♦ 
Karsten Knoebel: 5♠5♣
Knoebel had the bigger stack and the pair, which remained in front through the 3♥3♦J♦ flop. A Q♦ on the turn made things a bit spicy as Knebel picked up both flush and straight draws, one of which he connected with on the 2♦ river to double up.
