Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive

Ted Forrest makes a raise from the button, and "Big" Jim Pechac makes the call from the big blind.

The flop comes down {3-Spades} {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts}. Pechac bets out, Forrest raises, and Pechac reraises enough to put himself all in. Forrest calls, and the hands are shown down:

Forrest: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {5-Diamonds}
Pechac: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

Pechac is well ahead, but needs to dodge a lot of outs with two cards to come. When the board runs out {9-Diamonds}, {8-Clubs}, Pechac does come out on top, and doubles up to 250,000. As we've been saying all day, he is the short stack, but appears comfortable in that spot.
