With a raise to 225 and two callers before him, Aleks 'Banana Thief' Brkovic made the call before leading for 600 on the {K-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

The original raiser made the call, as did one other to see the {6-Diamonds} fall on the turn.

Brkovic fired 1,600 at the pot, and lost one opponent after the original raiser made the call again.

When the river landed the {5-Clubs}, Brkovic's 2,350-chip bet was enough to prompt a fold from his opponent after deliberating over the decision for near on three minutes.

As Brkovic raked in the pot, he pushed back up to over his starting stack; now sitting with 33,600 in chips.
