Niveau 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

A player on the button had an all-in shove of 11,000 in front of him when we got to his table, having been faced with a raise to 1,600 from Jeff Kirsch in the small blind. Kirsch thought it over and then tossed in a call, and the all-in shipper immediately stood up and tabled , expecting to be heading for the exits.

However, he was ahead as Kirsch held . The dealer spread a flop.

"Good flop for you," said Mark Teltscher, clearly expecting things were wrapped up.

That would be a natural assumption with Kirsch drawing to runners, but he found a sweat on the turn. The river gave Kirsch kings full to eliminate his unfortunate opponent, who had resumed sitting in expectation of receiving a double and had to get right back up.
