John Amato opened to 12,000 from early position and Richard Kirsch called from the hijack. Dominik Nitsche was in the blinds and shoved all in for 91,000. Amato asked for a count and then made the call while Kirsch got out of the way.

Dominik Nitsche: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
John Amato: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Nitsche's pair of kings held on for another double up. Earlier in the day, Nitsche was down to just a couple of big blinds and has managed to fight his way back into a reasonable position.
