Staszko Scores a Big Knockout

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Martin Staszko

A massive blind battle between Martin Staszko and JL left the latter empty handed after the dust settled. The board read {2-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} 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 {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} outkicked JL's {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a better pair of kings to send the German to the rail.
