Probsting Wins Classic Race to Eliminate Piroddi

Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Carl Probsting opened to 12,000 first-to-act and action folded to Federico Piroddi in the big blind, who three-bet to 44,000.
Probsting asked for a count and tanked a while before announcing he was all in. Piroddi quickly called all in for approximately 150,000 total and a showdown was held.
Federico Piroddi: A?K?
Carl Probsting: Q?Q?
It was a virtual coin flip, but the J?8?7?9?6? runout kept Probsting best with his queens and he collected the massive pot while Piroddi was sent to the rail.
