Cards are on their backs and stacks are in the middle, with Mohamed Iche all-in for around 60,000 and at risk versus Niko Koop.

Iche only has one overcard, and is in even further trouble after the Diamond KDiamond QDiamond 2 flop gives his opponent top set. With Iche holding no diamond, he is drawing very thin to the gutshot, although a chop is still possible, Koop also having no diamond. 

The Diamond 10 turn is a miracle card, putting Iche ahead with the nut straight, but also bringing into play the chop possibilities. 

Koop now needs to fill up to take the pot, and sure enough the Club Q rolls off on the river to pair the board and send Koop the pot with a full house.
