An opponent opened under the gun to 6,000 and Sandor Leitenroth produced a three-bet to 20,000. Jakub Krawinski then reached for chips and produced the cold four-bet jam to 82,000. Leitenroth called, to put himself at risk.

Sandor Leitenroth: A♦A♠
Jakub Krawinski: A♥K♦

In a complete cooler, Krawinski had run his ace-king into Leitenroth's aces.

The flop of A♣6♣4♦ sealed Krawinski's fate, leaving him drawing dead. The 8♦10♠ completed the runout leaving Krawinski with crumbs.
