Pierre Mothes Eliminated in 3rd Place (�102,410)

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Pierre Mothes
Pierre Mothes

Martin Kabrhel opened to 30,000 from the button and Pierre Mothes three-bet to 73,000 from the big blind. Kabrhel called with the {6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Mothes held the {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for an overpair to the flop {J-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Mothes continued for 100,000 and Kabrhel called to see the {7-Clubs} on the turn.

Mothes fired 180,000 and Kabrhel called once more with his open-ended straight draw. The dealer burned and turned the {8-Clubs} river, which gave Kabrhel a straight. Mothes shoved for around 250,000 and was called to see his pocket queens cracked. "Wow, what a call on the turn," the German could only say and then headed to the rail.

Kabrhel Puts Pressure on Mothes

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel three-bet to 64,000 out of the small blind and initial raiser Pierre Mothes called from the button with the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and Kabrhel's {A-Spades}{7-Spades} immediately fired a continuation bet to win the pot uncontested.

Mothes Shoves on Kabrhel

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On the turn of a heads-up pot with the board reading {9-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, Martin Kabrhel bet 84,000 into a pot of 128,000 and Mothes shoved.

Kabrhel was not willing to gamble with his {J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and would have been behind against the {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} of Mothes anyways.

Kabrhel Takes First Blood

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Pierre Mothes raised to 32,000 from the small blind and Martin Kabrhel called from one seat over to see the flop fall {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Mothes continued for 36,000 and was called before the German checked the {5-Hearts} turn. Kabrhel bet 69,000 and was called before the {7-Hearts} river killed all betting action.

Mothes had to show first and his {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} ended up second best to the {A-Clubs}{8-Spades} of Kabrhel.

Philipp Zukernik Bubbles the Super High Roller

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Pierre Mothes open-shoved the small blind and Philipp Zukernik called off for less than nine big blinds.

Mothes: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Zukernik: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The flop fell {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and Mothes looked golden with a pair of aces. The {10-Spades} on the turn then gave Zukernik a ton of outs before the blank {6-Hearts} river let the bubble burst.

Zukernik immediately left the table and was nowhere to be seen anymore, just returning to grab his mobile phone.

Mothes Gets Small Revenge

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-way limped pot, Martin Kabrhel bet the flop {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} flop for 10,000. Philipp Zukernik folded his {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Pierre Mothes called with the {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. Kabrhel also bet the {2-Clubs} turn for 17,000 with the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and got called to improve to the best hand on the {Q-Diamonds} river.

Kabrhel checked and Mothes' bet of 57,000 enforced a fold after some consideration. "That's a good bet," the Czech said in table chat.

Kabrhel also defended his {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and flopped top pair, however Mothes had the better kicker with {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and called a small bet of 28,000 on the river of a {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades} board to scoop another small pot.
