Hirs Makes the Wrong Call

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With around 130,000 already in the pot on a completed board of A5229, the player in the big blind moved all in, putting Aliaksandr Hirs to the test for his remaining stack of roughly 80,000 from early position.

After burning through all of his time banks, Hirs put in the call. His opponent tabled AK for top pair with the top kicker, which was enough to send Hirs to the rail as he revealed AJ for the same pair with an inferior kicker.
