Staszko Scores a Big Knockout
Level 10
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
A massive blind battle between Martin Staszko and JL left the latter empty handed after the dust settled. The board read ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and the pot was already up to over 50,000. After Staszko checked, JL shoved all in for 60,000, slightly more than a pot-sized bet.
It was a difficult decision for the 2011 WSOP Main Event runner-up, as it was for nearly all his remaining chips. After contemplating for minutes, Staszko cut out the call and put his chips in the middle with a loud thump.
The decision turned out to be right, as Staszko's ![]()
outkicked JL's ![]()
for a better pair of kings to send the German to the rail.
