Kristi Kirs Knocks Out Neighbor
Level 5
: 300/600, 100 ante
From the cutoff Mario Lepez raised to 1,500. His neighbor Gabor Beregi on the button made the call and small blind Joni Limatta shoved all in for 12,700. Big blind Kristi Kirs over shoved for 13,000 exactly and Lepez tank folded. Beregi folded as well, claiming to have had nines. Lepez told the table he had sixes, but was convinced he would have won.
"Ace king? Please?" asked Limatta. Kirs showed the 
first, followed by the 
for queens. Limatta showed 
.
The board ran out 
and Limatta made his exit. Both Beregi and Lepez would have beaten the queens and treys if they had what they claimed they had, but it was Kirs raking in the chips.
