Forrest Kollar

Daniel Hinh raised from the button, Forrest Kollar moved all in for 6,800,000 from the big blind and Hinh took some time before he called.

Forrest Kollar: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Daniel Hinh: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

It was a battle of the players with the two loudest rails as Kollar's corner called for a king. The flop came {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. The turn was indeed the king as the {k-Hearts} came off. Hinh's rail then called for an ace and like magic the {a-Diamonds} came off to bust Kollar and set up heads-up play.
