Zaskodny Cracks Poker Kings with Big Ace
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
WSOP bracelet winner Lukas Zaskodny got involved in a heavy preflop betting war with the opponent to his immediate left.
Zaskodny raised first, but then the player to his right three-bet. Zaskodny, who had his opponent covered, then four-bet all in, and his opponent snapped-called to put his tournament life at stake.
Opponent: K♥K♦
Lucas Zaskodny: A♥Q♣
Zaskondy’s opponent started gathering his belongings and appeared resigned to his fate, even though he was ahead before cards hit the board. Then, then the dealer fanned 4♦6♣A♣ on the flop.
“Of course there’s an ace,” Zaskodny’s opponent said.
The dealer then placed 6♣ on the turn and 7♣ on the river to give Zaskodny the hand and send the other player to the rail.
