Kirchner KO's Troubat

With the pot built up to more than 90,000, we picked up the action between Isaac Kirchner and Nicholas Troubat on a board of {6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}; Kirchner checked to Troubat who led out for 45,000 after the river.

That bet sent Kirchner into the tank for a good four minutes before he announced a check-raise all-in. Troubat insta-called, but tried to muck after Kirchner revealed {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} for a flopped set. As Troubat was the aggressor, he was required to show his cards, which turned out to be {a-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

After the chips were cut down, it was revealed that Kirchner had Troubat covered by just 4,000 in chips!
