Gjergj Sinishtaj opened to 22,000 on the button and called a pot-bet of 95,000 by Richard Kirsch. The flop fanned out {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Kirsch bet pot again. Sinishtaj moved all-in for slightly more and Kirsch put him at risk.

Gjergj Sinishtaj: {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Richard Kirsch: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Kirsch eliminated Sinishtaj raking in a huge pot in the process.
