Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

All the chips were in the middle preflop with Joon Kim in middle position at risk for 74,500 against Allen Kessler in the hijack.

Joon Kim: {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Allen Kessler: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The flop of {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} reduced the number of outs available to Kessler as Kim had a club. The runout of {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} was no help for "Chainsaw" and is reduced to less than five big blinds while Kim is around average stack.
