Kuether Doubles Through Getzwiller

It seems like Joe Kuether is going to use up each one of his nine lives tonight, as he has just doubled up again just after the break. Action folded to him in the cutoff, and he open shoved for 645,000. Action moved to Sean Getzwiller, who peaked at his cards, thought for five seconds, and called without even asking for a count. Ian Mack was in the big blind and immediately had a pained look on his face when he saw his cards. Mack clearly had a hand that he didn't want to let go, but he ultimately folded the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} face up. Getzwiller said, "Well I didn't want to see that," as Getzwiller and Kuether tabled their cards.

Kuether: {k-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Getzwiller: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Getzwiller was in the lead, but Kuether caught up when the flop came out {q-Spades}{8-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The {k-Clubs} hit the turn, which gave Kuether a stronger two pair. Getzwiller could still win with an ace on the river, but he didn't get it as it came the {3-Spades}. Kuether doubled to 1.3 million, while Getzwiller is right at three million.
