Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

A player in the hijack opened for 20,000 and Yuri Takhalov three-bet to 55,000 in the cutoff. After the button folded Irwin Reiter made his stand with a four-bet shove for 160,000 total, and both the hijack and Takhalov smooth called to put him at risk.

This action left the hijack with approximately 200,000 behind, while Takhalov held 350,000 at the time.

The dealer fanned a flop and both players checked, bringing the to the table on the turn. The hijack then shoved all in and Takhalov leaned back in his chair at the sight of such a big bet, hut despite appearing attached to his hand, it soon went sailing into the muck.

Reiter:
Hijack:

both players had hit the flop hard, but Reiter was in trouble as his top pair/top kicker combination was second best to top two.

River:

At the sight of such a disastrous river card, one which gave Reiter the winning hand with Broadway, the hijack player slumped back and held his hands to his heads, devastated that such a large pot had been snatched from him in so cruel a fashion.
