From the button, Gianluca Speranza raised to 42,000. Andrew Hinrichsen reraised to 100,000 even from the big blind and Speranza called to see the flop.

The flop came down {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Hinrichsen fired a bet of 115,000. Speranza reached for his chips and slid out a tall tower to make the call.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Hinrichsen stayed on the gas. He upped his bet a bit and fired 200,000. With two tall towers this time, Speranza slid out the call.

The river completed the board with the {3-Spades} and Hinrichsen paused before announcing that he was all in. Speranza snap-called. Immediately, Hinrichsen tabled the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for kings and threes with top kicker. Speranza held a weaker kicker with the {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Thanks to his double up earlier, Hinrichsen had the chip lead and eliminated Speranza in second place to earn the victory and his first-ever World Series of Poker gold bracelet!
