Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

The action was on the turn with the board reading {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

David Russell's {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} hand was already exposed face-up as he was facing an all in from his opponent. There had apparently been some confusion from Russell as he misheard the dealer which led to the exposed hand.

His opponent waited for Russell's decision as his shove was for 21,500. Russell thought it out for about 30 seconds before electing to make the call with the draw.

His opponent was ahead with the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}. But the river brought home the straight for Russell when the {8-Hearts} binked off to cause his opponent to get up in anger and criticize the call from Russell after the hand exposure.

Russell collected the newest addition to his massive stack and walked off to serve his hand exposure penalty.
