Finding the Baumswitch

Scott Baumstein open shoved from early position for about 120,000 and quickly was called by a middle position player. He was in a world of hurt.

Baumstein: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

Baumstein began the traditional prayer to the poker gods, he got out of his seat, ready to go and immediately his prayers were answered when the board came {J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} to double him up.
