Kruse Doesn't Pull the Trigger
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
German soccer player & former Olympian Max Kruse qualified for the Tournament of Champions thanks to winning a bracelet at the 2022 WSOPE. He took down the €1,650 NLH Six-Max in Rozvadov last December after being on a bracket hunt for nearly a decade.
However, his hopes of being a two-time WSOP champion look slim today as he is one of the short stacks in the room.
There was around 15,000 in the pot on the K?3?4?5? board. The small blind checked before Kruse bet 6,500 from the big blind. His opponent called.
The 8? river checked through to showdown, and the small blind tabled his 7?7? for a pair of sevens. Kruse complimented his opponent's hand before mucking.
