Hand #134 - Daniel Craker

Daniel Craker had the button in Seat 1. Daniel Craker moved all in for just less than 230,000, and Matthew Konnecke called. Action was on Wang Jung, and he too made the call from the big blind.

The board rolled out {K-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}, with the two live players checking the action the whole way. When the river card hit, Craker clapped his hands together and yelled, "Yes!" When his two opponents checked, we found out why. Craker turned over the winning {K-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and tripled up with two pair. He is healthy once again, sitting with right around 700,000 in chips.
