Carmody Spikes a King

Matthew Carmody raised to 200,000 from the button and heard Nachman Berlin reply with "All in" from the big bling. Carmody made the call and the hands were turned over:

Berlin: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Carmody: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The flop looked bleak for Carmody, coming {J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}. Fortunately for Carmody, he was able to spike a card he needed when the {K-Hearts} fell on the turn. Now Berlin needed one of the two remaining fives to send Carmody home, but the deck did not comply, instead sending out the {8-Clubs} and allowing Carmody to double up.
