Dennis Backhaus had a bet of 15,000 in front of him from the big blind on a board of K♥8♠8♥A♦ before an opponent under the gun moved all in for 34,000. Atharv Kumar then reshoved for 59,000 on the button, and Backhaus tanked for a few minutes before folding.
The under-the-gun player turned over A♣J♦ for two pair, while Kumar had 8♣7♣ for trips. Backhaus shot out of his seat and admitted he had ace-king, and the 6♦ river sealed the bustout for Kumar.
"Do you call if I just flat?" Kumar asked him, and Backhaus simply shrugged as he retook his seat.
Anthony Ibrahim was recently eliminated, while Nicholas Bigby and Kash Corpening also busted but quickly reentered.
