Birizdo Runs Kings Into Aces
Level 8
: 25,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Taylor Black made it 11,000 to go from the cutoff and Istvan Birizdo three-bet to 35,000 with 132,000 behind from the big blind. The initial raiser double-checked his cards once more and Black just called to see the 8♠4♦3♥ on the flop.
Birizdo bet 22,000 and Black continued his slow play to just call ahead of the 10♣ on the turn. With 121,000 in the middle and 110,000 behind, Birizdo bet 40,000 and Black min-raised. The eventual shove by the Hungarian followed and Black instantly called.
Istvan Birizdo: K♠K♥ 
Taylor Black: A♣A♠
The river was the 9♥ and Birizdo bowed out in cruel fashion, while Black reached seven figures.
