Hirs Misses His Outs

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aliaksandr Hirs
Aliaksandr Hirs

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised from under the gun, with Aliaksandr Hirs calling in the cutoff and Traian Stanciu coming along on the button.

The 6♦9♣4♣ flop checked to Stanciu, who bet 22,000. Skhulukhiya quickly folded, but Hirs check-raised to 50,000, leaving himself with around 20,000 behind. Stanciu put Hirs all in, and Hirs immediately called.

Aliaksandr Hirs: A♣J♣ All in
Traian Stanciu: 10♥10♣

Stanciu had an overpair against Hirs' flush draw and overcards.

The K♦ turn and 5♥ river changed nothing, and Stanciu's pocket tens held up to send Hirs to the rail.
