Kovalski Knocked Out by Zwad

Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Fabiano Kovalski defended his big blind with a short stack against a raise in early position by Finn Zwad. On the J?9?3? flop, Kovalski checked with 8,400 behind and Zwad bet 2,000 into 3,500. The check-shove by Kovalski followed and Zwad called within a few seconds.
Fabiano Kovalski: 9?7?
Finn Zwad: K?Q?
The Brazilian was ahead with his second pair but the 10? turn instantly improved Zwad to the king-high straight to leave Kovalski drawing dead, whose two pair with the 7? river were meaningless.
