Brrr, It's Chilly in Here

Mark Schouten, victor of yesterday's �300 PLO event, raised it up from the button and then called the 11,000 push from Stephan Kernig in the big blind. Bit of a cooler:

Schouten: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Kernig: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

The flop looked like the hand might be a bigger cooler than anyone thought:

Flop: {5-Spades} {9-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

But a harmless {8-Hearts} on the turn and {7-Hearts} on the river doubled Kernig up to 22,000.
