Krux Crushed

An unknown player opened to 900, and Al Krux potted it up to 3,400, leaving himself just 725 behind. The original raiser put him all in, and Krux put his tournament life in the hands of the dealer and his {6-Diamonds} {6-Clubs}, racing against his opponent's {A-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}.

It was not a good race for Krux. The board crushed his little pair as it ran out {A-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. With that, the perpetually tan Krux wished his table luck and headed for the exit.
