Ace on the River Sends Muders Out
Level 16
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Matthias Bertholon opened to 10,000 from middle position and Kevin Muders shoved for his last 35,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Bertholon, who shrugged and announced, "I call," to put Muders at risk.
Kevin Muders: J♠J♦
Matthias Bertholon: A♥10♥
Muders was a favorite to double and remained that way on the 9♦6♥5♦ flop and 7♣ turn.
However, the A♠ landed on the river — pairing Bertholon's ace and leaving Muders' jacks second-best to be eliminated.
