Keranin Finds a Heart

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

There was already about 25,000 in the pot when we walked up to the turn of a {9-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} board. Kyle Keranen led out with a bet of 11,500, and Manh Nguyen raised all in with his covering stack. Keranan made the call for his last 29,400 with {K-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, ad he was ahead. Nguyen's {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} was working the other flush draw and the double gutshot.

The {10-Hearts} fell on the river, and Keranen improves to the heart flush to scoop the pot. With it comes a double up to 87,000, and Nguyen falls back to 22,000 as a consequence.
