Jamie Pickering limped in from the button and James Kronos checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs}. Kronos checked and then Pickering bet the pot of 32,000. Kronos repotted for 144,000 total. This sent PIckering into the tank and caused him to ask for a count. After some thought, Pickering stuck in another raise and was all in. Kronos made the call.

Kronos: {K-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}
Pickering: {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}

Kronos was in a prime spot to take down Pickering with a dominating hand and draw, but when the turn and river came the {4-Spades} then the {7-Diamonds}, Pickering made two pair to take down the pot.

After counting down all of the chips, Kronos was down, but not out. He still held 108,000 chips after the hand. Pickering now has a huge chip lead with over 570,000 chips.

After the hand, Kronos said "I think I owed you one for earlier. Can I rebuy?"
