Tom Koral from Day 1 of Event #46.

We came to the table with the action on Andreas Hoivold. Three players, one of whom was Tom Koral, had already moved all in and Hoivold had a decision to either call or fold after having already opened the pot.

Eventually, Hoivold turned up his {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts} and folded his hand. Tom Koral and the other two players all turned up their hands.

Koral: {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Player 1: {A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Clubs}
Player 2: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The board ran out {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. At first it looked as if Koral would chop with the first player, as they each had three tens with an ace kicker, but on second glance, Koral had actually picked up a straight. There was no low possible and Koral doubled through player two, who had a covering stack while eliminating player one.
