With about 9,000 in the middle and the board reading {8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, Blake Whittington bet 5,300 from the small blind and his lone opponent called from middle position.

The {4-Diamonds} hit the turn and Whittington shoved. His opponent called to put himself at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Blake Whittington: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Whittington had his opponent dominated with the bigger overpair. The {3-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Whittington took the pot to stack his opponent, putting his chip count into six-figure territory.
