Johnny Blade Loses His Edge

An older gentleman under the gun came in raising to 6,000. The table folded around to the blinds where John Bladon tanked it up in the small. After some consideration, he moved all in over the top. The big blind folded, and the initial raiser made the call for his tournament life, all 18,400 of his chips now committed to this hand.

Showdown
Bladon: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}

The board was just what the at-risk player was hoping for as it ran down {A-Clubs} {K-Spades} {6-Spades} {4-Spades} {3-Clubs}. That spells a double up for one player and a halving of the stack for the other; both men are just about even with 40,000 right now.
