Kurko of Life

[user46392]

Short-stack-on-short-stack action now, as Morten Klein and Kimmo Kurko got involved.

The pot was raised preflop but both players checked the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{3-Spades}

flop. Come the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

turn, Klein checked and Kurko bet 14,000, to which Klein responded by raising to 30,000. Kurko called and they saw a river.

River: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

Klein stared at it for a while before announcing, "I have the best hand but I give you a chance." He checked. Kurko checked behind, and made a sound that was exactly half way between sadness and disgust as Klein turned over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

. Kurko waved his now-cracked {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

at the table, and is left with just 37,000.
