"Magic Max" Kruse Nearly Doubles Up
Level 9
Max Kruse: 6?4?9?/9?7?10?8?
Christopher Claassen: XxXx/K?J?7?K?/Xx
With a dwindling stack, Max Kruse found himself facing a bet on fifth street from Christopher Claassen. He called, and after each received their final card, Kruse bet one of his last chips, and after deliberation, Claassen called.
Kruse revealed he had made his straight. 'Magic Max!' said Claassen, laughing.
"Really 'Magic'!" exclaimed Kruse, pointing at the 6?, indicating it had been the final card.
