Toplingrud's Tough Call is the Right One

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 24,000 ante

Nils Tolpingrud bet 110,000 from under the gun on a {2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop, with three players left to act behind.

Richard Kirsh raised all in for his last 660,000 from the cutoff, getting folds from the button and small blind. That brought the action back to Toplingrud, who tanked for a few moments before making the call.

Nils Tolpingrud: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Richard Kirsch: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Both players had a top-pair king, but Kirsh saw that he was in bad shape, outkicked against Topligrud's ace. The turn {5-Spades} and river {j-Diamonds} brought no help, and Kirsh headed to the payout desk.
