Minaya Sucks Out, Vallo Re-sucks

Manny Minaya raised to 600 and Claus Vallo reraised from the small blind to 1,700. Minaya then made it 5,000 to go and Vallo moved all in. Minaya made the call.

Minaya: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Vallo: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}

The flop came down {J-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} and Minaya was still behind. The turn was a whopper for Minaya though, a big {K-Clubs} propelled him to the lead in the hand.

Things looked good for Minaya to double up until a bullet shot to the felt in the form of the {A-Diamonds} and knocked out Minaya.
