Huge Swing of Chips in Cardno's Favor

Martin Cardno
Martin Cardno
Martin Cardno raised all in from the small blind against Kent Hunter in the big blind. The total amount was 140,500 and Hunter snap-called.

Showdown:
Cardno: {Q-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Hunter: {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}

When the flop came down {A-Spades} {j-Spades} {9-Diamonds}, Hunter's kicker was a little bit better and kept him in the lead. The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and added a straight draw to the equation for Cardno. The straight was completed when the {10-Hearts} hit the river.

Hunter dropped to 233,000 on the hand and Cardno moved up to 289,000. All Hunter could do after the hand was sit back in his chair and shake his head.
