Gwinner, Gwinner, Chicken Dinner

[user66118]

We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed {J-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Clubs} . Day 1b chip leader Henrik Gwinner led out with a bet of 6,800 into a heads-up pot of about 10,000 chips. His opponent quickly made a raise to 25,000 straight, and Gwinner went into the tank for couple minutes. He finally announced an all in for just over 60,000 total, and his opponent made the call with the covering stack, Gwinner's tournament life now at risk.

Showdown
Gwinner: {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {6-Clubs} {7-Clubs}

Gwinner was clearly a bit nervous about fading the flush draw, but the nervousness would soon subside. The dealer gave him a blank turn and river -- {Q-Spades} and {6-Spades} respectively -- and that earns Gwinner a pretty sizable double up. He's moved his way to about 136,000 as he stacks that pot.
