Staszko Dusted

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Martin Staszko
Martin Staszko

Goran Lukac opened to 26,000 from the cutoff with a dead big blind due to the player not having returned from break yet. Martin Staszko three-bet all in for 155,000 out of the small blind and Lukac asked for a count. He received confirmation of the figure and then thought for close to a minute before dropping one more chip on top of his original raise to signify a call.

Martin Staszko: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Goran Lukac: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The two were in a coin flip situation with Staszko needing to hold to stay alive in the tournament, but the flop {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs} improved Lukac to a better two pair than that of Staszko's, leaving him with two chances to hit one of the remaining two snowmen in the deck. The turn {k-Spades} removed those two outs as Lukac improved to a full house, leaving his only chance at survival being a river ace to chop with a higher full house. Unfortunately for the Czech native and 2011 WSOP Main Event runner up, the river fell {3-Diamonds} and sent him home from the tournament shortly after the first break of the day.
