Okimoto Wins a Race

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The player first to act preflop decided to go all in for his remaining 4,000 chips. He found an opponent in David Okimoto who flatted from the cutoff. The button and blinds got out of the way and revealed a classic flipping situation.

Okimoto: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Board: {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The clean board bumps Okimoto's stack up to 15,600. However, he is not out of the shadow yet of David Scharf. Sharf is sitting directly to his left and has him covered with about 17,000 chips.
