Karl Mahrenholz Exits in 13th Place (��12,713)

With a stack of around 100k, Karl Mahrenholz could only afford one big pot, and it played out against even shorter-stacked Ross Boatman. Boatman made it 15k to go preflop, and Mahrenholz called on the button.

The flop: {9-Spades} {2-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} . Out fired Boatman - 32,500, with 54k left behind. Mahrenholz thought for a long time, before eventually making the call.

The turn: {A-Diamonds} As he may have anticipated, Boatman's stack crossed the line straight away. While he only dipped a toe in the tank on the flop, he now went for full body immersion. Looking pained, he counted out the call, and finally made it.

He turned over {K-Clubs} {J-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {7-Hearts} behind Boatman's {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {10-Hearts}. It stayed that way on the {2-Spades} river, and that dropped him to under 20k.

The very next hand, he got it in preflop (barely) raising Sandra Naujoks' raise to 17k. She called with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {10-Spades} and his {Q-Spades} {8-Spades} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} went nowhere on the {6-Hearts} {2-Spades} {6-Clubs} {J-Spades} {5-Diamonds} board.
