Strauss-esque Victory No More!

Every poker player dreams of one day not only winning a tournament, but also fighting back Jack Strauss style from a single chip!

Hey, even this very blogger has done it before!

Kyle Bonazzo must having been thinking that maybe today could be his day after being all in for just a single 500-ante during the mid stages of last level.

He managed to build that 500 in chips all the way up to 50,000, until now.

Finding himself all in from under the gun for his last 44,000, Christopher Kastler put Bonazzo's tournament life on the line.

Bonazzo: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Kastler: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} to see Bonazzo flushed to the rail as Kastler climbs to 500,000 in chips.
