A Big Swing

Hold'em:

Action is capped pre-flop in a three-way pot between James Kronos, Andrew Demetriou, and Clint Wiebenga.

The first three community cards come out {7-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. Kronos leads out with a bet, and Demetriou raises. Action comes around to Wiebenga, and he goes into the tank for several minutes. At two different points, he steps away from the table in frustration, only to be warned by the tournament staff that he needs to remain at his seat with a live hand.

After a few, "I can't believe I'm going to fold this" routines, he flips his cards high up into the air, flashing the {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} as they tumble into the muck. With just a few chips remaining, Kronos calls the bet all in, and the two remaining live hands are turned over:

Kronos: {A-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Demetriou: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

Kronos is at risk of being knocked out, and the turn and river come {9-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} respectively, spelling the end for him. Demetriou chips up to about 55,000, and Wiebenga is knocked back to just 5,000.
