Zawadzki Nails Straight on River to Eliminate Opponent
Mikolaj Zawadzki put his opponent in the blender.
The completed board showed J♦A♦4♣9♥10♥, and Zawadzki moved all in on the river.
Zawadzki’s opponent was clearly not in a good spot, as a call put his tournament life on the line. He ran his fingers through his hair multiple times and put his right hand on his forehead. He did those actions multiple times for more than a minute, while periodically peeking at his cards and glancing at the board.
Meanwhile, Zawadzki was motionless. And if his challenger was looking for a read, Zawadzki offered no hints.
Ultimately, the opponent made the call to put his tournament at stake and got the bad news when Zawadzki tabled K♠Q♠ for the nut straight. Zawadzki’s adversary then tossed A♥10♦ face up in the air before grabbing his belongings as the rest of his stack went the other way.
