Kinney Hits Outs To Double

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Craig Kinney opened to 4,500 in the cutoff and the player on the button called. Both blinds folded and the two went heads up to the flop {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Kinney checked. His opponent put out a bet of 5,500 and Kinney thought for about 10 seconds before announcing he was all in. It took him about 10 seconds himself to get his stack out, and a count was requested immediately upon it being pushed forward. The number was totaled to be 60,800.

"If you had a big hand, you'd be trappin' me, huh?" the player on the button said as he thought about it. He then listed several suited ace- combinations of diamonds he thought Kinney could have and proceeded to slam a stack of chips forward to make the call.

Craig Kinney: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}

The player on the button found himself calling with what was the best hand at the time, though Kinney's 12 outs made odds nearly even for each player to win at showdown. The turn {5-Diamonds} sealed the deal, giving Kinney the nut flush before the river {8-Diamonds} came to complete the runout, giving Kinney an even higher flush en route to earning a double.
