Quijano vs. Finkelstein

We caught the action on the {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop when Jeffrey Finkelstein bet 26,000 from middle position only to have Felipe Quijano raise to 100,000 right behind. Finkelstein wasted little time in moving all in, and Quijano called off for 278,000 total.

Showdown

Finkelstein{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Quijano{A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

Quijano was ahead with a pair of kings, but he needed to dodge the flush draw of Finkelstein. The {10-Diamonds} turn gave the latter some straight options, but the {5-Spades} river blanked. With that, Quijano doubled to 600,000.
