Staszko Dusted
Goran Lukac opened to 26,000 from the cutoff with a dead big blind due to the player not having returned from break yet. Martin Staszko three-bet all in for 155,000 out of the small blind and Lukac asked for a count. He received confirmation of the figure and then thought for close to a minute before dropping one more chip on top of his original raise to signify a call.
Martin Staszko: 
Goran Lukac: 
The two were in a coin flip situation with Staszko needing to hold to stay alive in the tournament, but the flop 
improved Lukac to a better two pair than that of Staszko's, leaving him with two chances to hit one of the remaining two snowmen in the deck. The turn 
removed those two outs as Lukac improved to a full house, leaving his only chance at survival being a river ace to chop with a higher full house. Unfortunately for the Czech native and 2011 WSOP Main Event runner up, the river fell 
and sent him home from the tournament shortly after the first break of the day.
