Ace of Spades is Beautiful For Khneisser

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Picking up the action on a board of {3-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} and already around 170,000 in the pot, Joseph Khneisser bet 100,000 from the button as action went on Justus Held in middle position.

Held began kneeling on his seat as he tanked for several minutes before the clock was called. He eventually grabbed the four white 25,000 chips he would need to call as the countdown entered the final 10 seconds, but he allowed it to hit zero and his hand was declared dead.

"The ace of spades on the end was beautiful," Khneisser said as he dragged in the big pot.

"No, it wasn't," Held responded.

"One of the best cards I can ask for," Khneisser added.
