Kevin Vandersmissen moved all in from under the gun for 18,800. Action folded to big stack Steve Hohn in the small blind. He thought for a bit before calling. The big blind got out of the way.

Hohn: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Vandersmissen: {7-Spades}{8-Spades}

"I'm gonna flop a straight," Vandersmissen said.

The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, and Vandersmissen looked like he couldn't have been more wrong. A {6-Hearts} arrived on the turn though, and a {5-Hearts} river completed a backdoor straight draw for Vandersmissen.
