PCA winner Galen Hall raised to 300 preflop UTG and Kristoffer Thorsson flat-called next to him, the hijack then raised to 1,100 and former Spanish international footballer Poli Rincon made the call on the button.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} and everyone checked to Rincon who bet 1,750 and only Thorsson made the call to see the {3-Clubs} turn. Thorsson checked again and Rincon quickly fired 2,750 but the Swede raised to 9,000 and the Spaniard made an almost instant call.

The {6-Clubs} river made it four to the straight and Thorsson moved all in, Rincon thought for about a minute, took a deep breath and made the call. Thorsson showed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the turned nut straight and Rincon flipped er... {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} thinking he was being bluffed.

Thorsson is up to about 55,000.
