Birizdo had made a big move with but Sweeney had and held on a board.
Birizdo was left with just 100,000 remaining which went in as a three-bet shove against Jean-Yves Malherbe's initial 12,000 open. The Frenchman wasn't the problem though, Sotirios Koutoupas in the big blind calling the shove was. Malherbe quickly folded to leave Birizdo in trouble.
Birizdo:
Koutoupas:
