Murat Olpak opened to 800 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 2,000 by Kai Lach in middle position. Action folded back to Olpak, who wasted little time in moving all in with the covering stack. Lach got the rest of his stack, totalling 13,200, into the middle just as quickly.
Kai Lach: A♠K♥
Murat Olpak: K♣K♠
Lach had only one overcard versus Olpak's pocket kings, but an ace was in the window on the A♣2♣2♥ flop, and Lach secured the double-up after the Q♦ turn and 5♥ river completed the board.
