There was over 30,000 in the middle and four players still holding cards in front of themselves on a completed board of {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}. Michael Giardina bet 20,000 in the small blind and Ben Keeline thought for a bit before folding in the big blind. Eddy Konarske then called in middle position and Steve Rule also found a call on the button for a three-way showdown.

Rule showed {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Giardina announced a straight as he turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, but both were bested by the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} of Konarske, whose nuts earned him the pot to take him up to a six-figure stack.

"Nice pot, sir," said tablemate Salim Wahdan.

"Thank you!" responded Konarske, stacking his chips as he did so.
