"Let's get this over with..."

[user38449]

Oh, the agony...

So said Andrew Hiscox after moving all in for his last 350,000, over the top of a 50,000 preflop raise from Ernst Hermans. Barry Forrester had called Hermans' raise before Hiscox moved all in, and when Hermans folded to the reraise, Forrester made the call:

Hiscox: {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{5-Spades}

Forrester: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

The ensuing board ran out {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

giving Hiscox a pair of fives, which was all it took to steal the pot away from Forrester.

After the hand, Hiscox improved to 800,000 in chips while Forrester dropped to 550,000.
