Kuerschner Up and Down

Mathias Kuerschner
Mathias Kuerschner
Mathias Kuerschner has had a roller coaster of a level. First, he got into a huge raised pot three-ways. The flop came {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}, and Julian Thew checked. Kuerschner also checked, and Michael Reinhardt on the button bet 30,000. Thew called, and Kuerschner raised to 112,000. Undaunted, Reinhardt moved all in for around 350,000. Thew ducked out, and Kuerschner practically threw his chips into the pot.

Showdown
Kuerschner: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}
Reinhardt: {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts}

The {6-Hearts} on the turn gave Reinhardt a flush draw, and Mathias a big scare. But the {3-Clubs} river was a brick, eliminating Reinhardt. Kuerschner was up to 945,000 after the hand.

The very next hand, Ketul Nathwani raised to 30,000 from early position, and Kuerschner called. Nathwani is the only player at the table that has Kuerschner covered now. Both quickly checked the {J-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} flop. The turn came the {9-Hearts}, and Nathwani bet 45,000. Kuerschner raised to 100,000, and Ketul called. The river was the very interesting {10-Spades}, and two insta-checks later, Nathwani tabled {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} for a rivered queen-high straight. Kuerschner checked his cards several times, looked at the board, and checked his cards again. Nathwani was either good or in for an epic slowroll. But Kuerschner mucked, making it clear that Nathwani needed the river. Ketul is currently the chip leader or close to it with 1.78 million. Kuerschner is still doing well with just under 800,000.
