Sointula Ships a Monster

We found three players in for 2,325 apiece before the flop came down {Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Jani Sointula led out for 3,800 from early position and received calls from the player next to act as well as from the cutoff. On the {6-Clubs} turn, Sointula led again, this time for 7,500 and again both of his opponents called. When the {5-Hearts} hit the river, Sointula bet one last time for 12,500. Only the player next to act called while the cutoff laid his hand down. Sointula turned over {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for the top boat and it looked like his opponent flashed {K-}{K-} before he mucked as Sointula took down the huge pot.
