Somerville's Cape Gets Tangled

Jason Somerville had a tough decision at the river of a {k-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {8-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} board. He was one of two players to check and call a bet of 26,000 on the flop. After the turn was checked through, Somerville checked the river. The second player to act then bet 48,000, folding the flop aggressor. That left Somerville unsure what to do.

"This is going to be one of those pots where I put my money in and then say, 'Oh, is *that* all you have,'" said Somerville. "Or I could all and be a hero. There is hero happiness..."

Ultimately Somerville put on his cape and made the call, but he couldn't beat {k-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} for two pair, kings and fours.
