Stanislaw Kretz has just announced himself as a real contender for the WPT Prague title after eliminating Chris McClung.

Here is the hand courtesy of roving reporter (and a very good poker player) Russell Carson. McClung raises to 25,000, Kretz three-bets to 58,000, McClung four-bets to 142,000 and Kretz calls.

The flop is [Jc] [8h] [8s] and McClung bets 140,000 and Kretz calls. Both players check the [5c] before the dealer shows us the [5d] and McClung moves all-in and Kretz snap-calls. Kretz turns over [Js] [Jd] and McClung mucks his hand, leaves his seat and heads to the pay out desk. Meanwhile Kretz becomes our chip leader with 1.9 million chips.
