Mota Enforces the "Rabbit Hunt"
Level 10
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Diego Ventura opened to 10,000 in middle position and Mateus Carrion just called on his left. Rafael Mota three-bet to 38,000 on the button and the action folded around to Carrion who called.
The dealer fanned the flop of K♥Q♥9♠ and Carrion checked to Mota who continued with a large size of 58,000. Carrion check-raised all in, putting Mota to the test for the last of his 240,000 chips. Mota opted to fold but wanted to use his "rabbit-hunting" card.
Carrion showed K♦Q♦ for two pair while the A♠ and 6♣ would have completed the board. Mota looked skyward afterward, potentially getting lucky on the runout.
