It's Nowakowski or Never

It's 'never' I'm afraid as Henry Nowakowski has been snipered down by the expert aim of Stuart Rutter. When I joined the action, Nowakowski was all in for 5,700 on a {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop, the decision resting on Stuart Rutter who was mumbling way through the possible holdings in true Negreanu style: "You've either got K-J, J-T, or A-rag."

In the end, it was the latter of those three, as Rutter made a power call (suddenly grabbing his chips and firmly sliding them across the felt as if to prevent himself from changing his mind) with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} and was shown {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for his troubles.

A {K-Diamonds} turn and {7-Spades} river later and it was auf wiedersehen for the German veteran.
