Tschirsch Has the "Kings Cracker"

Josh Noy

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Fred Tschirsch moved all in for 920,000 in middle position, and was at risk when Jyrki Hilakari shoved his larger stack from the cutoff.

Fred Tschirsch: A♥Q♣ All in
Jyrki Hilakari: K♣K♥

"I call this the kings cracker," said Tschirsch as he saw Hilakari's hand. The help came straight away for Tschirsch on the 10♥A♦6♦ flop, making a pair of aces to take the lead. The J♦ turn and 5♣ river changed nothing, and Tschirsch secured the double-up by cracking Hilakari's kings.
