Hyde and Go Seek

The board was {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {3-Spades} when Bruce Hyde put all his money in the middle. The pot was large enough to entice Stephan Gerin to make the call. "I put in half my stack, there's no way I'm folding now," said Gerin. When the cards were revealed, Gerin was drawing rather slim.

Gerin: {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}
Hyde: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}

The river was the {6-Clubs} and Gerin was severely crippled to 3,000. Hyde moved up to 100,000.
