In a preflop raising battle, Dave Galloway was the first player all-in for more than €1,000 holding {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}. JP McCann called for a little more than €600 with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Sascha Koal called behind with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Players thought Koal he was joking he had only six high before he turned over one of his cards. The {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts} gave Koal a pair and didn't help either of his opponents.

The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn helped no-one and Koal was laughing about how he got two-pair on the river after the {5-Hearts} appeared. With no player holding any hearts, his two-pair proved good and he raked in a huge pot.

McCann didn't lose much since he won a side pot while Galloway's stack got chopped by more than half.
