Mothes Makes Tough Laydown
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Pierre Mothes opened from the button and Martin Kabrhel defended his big blind. On the 
flop, Kabrhel checked and then called a bet worth 30,000 by Mothes with the 
for a flopped straight. Mothes held 
and the 
fell on the turn. Kabrhel bet 77,000 and was called before the 
turn filled up the board.
Kabrhel tanked for a fair amount of time and Mothes called the clock on his opponent. The Czech then fired a hefty 177,000 and Mothes folded after an eternity, though the laydown was the correct play.
