Igor Kurganov was all in for his last 21,000 from early position and a player raised to 50,000 from the hijack. Athanasios Polychronopoulos four-bet all in himself and the player in the hijack got out of the way.

Igor Kurganov: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Athanasios Polychronopoulos: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop was {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Kurganov managed to hit an ace. He faded a king or runner-runner outs after the {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} run out and he tripled up thanks to the third player in the pot.
