After a flop of Heart QHeart 7Heart 5, Dan Maor bets 80,000 from the big blind, and Chris Kirshak calls from the cutoff.

The turn card is the Club K, and both players check.

The river card is the Club J, Maor bets 125,000, and Kirshak moves all in for exactly 300,000. Maor goes into the tank for a while, throwing out two of his Time Chips to give himself 90 seconds to think.

Maor talks to himself as he theorizes what Kirshak may have shoved with, saying he may have had something like ace-four of hearts, or even ace-king of hearts, but not ace-jack of hearts.

Maor thinks a bit longer before he calls with Heart JDiamond J for a rivered set of jacks, but Kirshak turns over Heart AHeart K to win the pot with a flopped ace-high flush. Kirshak doubles up in chips.

Chris Kirshak  –  1,100,000  (73 bb)
Dan Maor  –  105,000  (7 bb)
