Drawing Dead? Not Quite...

In a huge preflop confrontation David Van Brakel was all in against Harri Suni. Bob Binsky was also interested in the pot but after some deliberation he decided to fold.

Brakel flipped {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} to be in trouble against Suni's {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, but things got worse for Brakel when Binksy announced that he had folded pocket kings, leaving Brakel virtually drawing dead before the flop!

At least that's what he thought, until the board fell {5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} giving Brakel an amazing running straight to take the pot and leave Suni in shock with just one green 25-denomination chip left!
