Kozieja’s Jacks Hold
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Grzegorz Kozieja opened under the gun to 8,000 and picked up two callers. Action then moved to Mariusz Klabisch in the big blind, who shoved his last 9,000. All three players put in the extra 1,000 to make the call.
The board ran out K♦Q♣4♠5♥2♦ and was checked all the way to showdown. Klabisch, whose tournament life was on the line, revealed A♣4♥ for a pair of fours, but Kozieja showed J♥J♦, good enough to claim the pot and send Klabisch to the rail.
