Derek Raymond raised from the button preflop and was called by Rainer Quel, who at this point seems to be playing almost every hand. On a flop of {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

, Quel checked and called a bet from Raymond. Both players checked the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

turn and

{K-Diamonds}

river, where Raymond announced "Kings." He did not open his hand, however, choosing instead to muck when Quel showed {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

for a rivered king-high straight.

Raymond has only 8,000 chips left, with the blinds quickly approaching.
