The flop came {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Greenwood check-called a 27,678 bet. Brummelhuis bet 55,692 on the {j-Diamonds} turn and Greenwood raised enough to put Brummelhuis all-in with his 93,881 remaining chips. Brummelhuis made the call.

Michiel "utreg" Brummelhuis: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The jack on the turn did not help Brummelhuis as much as he may have thought as it gave Greenwood a Broadway straight. Brummelhuis did not improve to a full house on the river as it came the {q-Clubs}.
