Mota Holds to Double Off Kerber
Level 13
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kelvin Kerber raised to 20,000 under the gun, Rafael Mota moved all in for 181,000 in the small blind, and Kerber called.
Rafael Mota: K♠K♣ 
Kelvin Kerber: A♠J♠
Mota had picked up kings and was a favorite to double up, but the Q♠Q♥5♠ flop meant he had to dodge Kerber's nut flush draw. The 3♦ turn was safe, while the K♦ river improved him to a full house to earn the double up.
