Nitsche Sent to the Rail
Level 8
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche defended from the big blind after a player in middle position opened to 20,000 and was called once.
The initial raiser continued for 27,000 on the 5♦4♥K♣ flop. The hijack called, then Nitsche moved all-in for 93,000. The middle-position player shoved as well with a bigger stack and made the hijack fold.
Dominik Nitsche: K♦10♥ 
Middle-position player: K♠Q♠
Both players flopped top pair, but Nitsche was on the edge of elimination as his opponent had a better kicker. The 3♣A♥ runout didn't change anything and Nitsche was eliminated.
