Action folded around to Dag Martin Mikkelsen on the button and he raised to 4,200. Tex Barch shoved all in from the big blind for 20,200 total and Mikkelsen made the call. The players showed:

Barch: {Q-Spades} {9-Spades}
Mikkelsen: {K-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}

Barch trailed in the hand, but only slightly. He took the lead on the {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} flop and never gave it back. The turn came the {A-Clubs} with the river {7-Spades} behind it and Barch doubled to just under 45,000.
