Anders Petterson raised to 11,000 from under the gun and William Skountzos reraised to 25,000, having just about 41,000 behind after his reraise. Sander Aalders flat-called from the big blind and Pettersson called as well.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

and Aalders checked. Pettersson checked as well to Skountzos. He moved all in for his last 41,000. Aalders folded and Pettersson folded.

Aalders turned up a sneakily-played {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Clubs}

while Skountzos had two overs to the board and a gutshot straight draw with the {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

. He'd be looking for his gutshot to hit though in order to double up.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

, but then the river smacked the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

on the board and completed Skountzos' straight draw. He's now got over 150,000 chips.
