Krueger Gives Jaworski Nightmares on Fifth Street

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Marcin Jaworski
Marcin Jaworski

On a board of {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} with a pot of around 39,000, the action was on Klas Krueger who elected to bet his remaining 41,200 chips, covering his opponent Marcin Jaworski.

Jaworksi thought hard before committing the rest of his chips, roughly 29,000, and tabled {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. The pocket aces were no match for Krueger's {7-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Trip sevens were enough to win the pot and eliminate Jaworski from the tournament.
