Alm Doubles Through Jerome

It was a classic all in battle on Green #14. Richard Alm raised preflop and was called only by Carl Jerome out of the big blind. Jerome checked the {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} flop over to Alm, who immediately pushed all in for 303,000. Jerome, holding the nut flush draw with {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}, made the call. Alm tabled {K-Spades} {Q-Spades}, having made top pair. Neither an ace nor a diamond hit the turn or river, allowing Alm to double up.

After the hand, Alm had about 750,000 chips, while Jerome sank to about 200,000.
