Do or Die

With blinds at 1,500 and 3,000 with a running ante of 300, it's do or die time for some of the shorter stacks, so when the action passed around to Christian Strutzel (pictured) in the small blind, he showed no hesitancy in pushing all in for his remaining 20,800 with Kh-6h. On this occasion, however, he was looked up by the big blind who made the call with As-9h. But, of course, poker can be a topsy-turvy game at times and following a rather clinical 3d-6c-Ks flop, a 7s hit the turn to cement victory before the final card.
