Herold's Big Slick Goes Down in Flames

Ryan Lashmar

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With two players seeing a board of A?J?3?J? and around 70,000 in the middle, Boris Kuzmanovic checked from the big blind and Kai Herold shoved for around 100,000 from early position. Kuzmanovic did not waste any time making the call with a covering stack.

Kai Herold: A?K? All in
Boris Kuzmanovic: J?3?

Herold had aces up but was in very rough shape against Kuzmanovic's full house, needing to catch one of the two remaining aces in the deck to extend his tournament life. He found no help on the 5? river and was sent to the rail while Kuzmanovic continued adding chips to his stack.
