Six players see a flop of Diamond ADiamond 10Club 3. Somebody bets 5,000, and the next player moves all in for 40,000. Several players fold to Scott Vener, who calls, and the original better folds.

The short stack shows X AX K for top pair, top kicker, and needs it to hold to stay alive against Vener’s X AX J (pair of aces, jack kicker).

The turn card is — a X J.

Vener takes the lead with two pair, and the river card is a blank. Vener wins the pot to eliminate his opponent from the tournament.

Scott Vener  –  150,000  (75 bb)
