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}

. 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}

behind Boatman's {A-Clubs}

. 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}
