Muehloecker Gone in 16th, Reinkemeier Soaring

Level 15 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker
Thomas Muehloecker

Thomas Muehloecker moved all in for 183,000 under the gun plus one and from his direct left it was Luuk Gieles who made the call.

The action folded to Tobias Reinkemeier in the small blind, and he tanked for several minutes before Gieles called the clock on him.

After calling the clock, Gieles buried his head in his arm, but eventually Reinkemeier called.

The board was checked down between Gieles and Reinkemeier on {K-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and the German pro lead out for 100,000 on the river. Gieles folded, and Reinkemeier showed {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}. Muehloecker had shoved with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and he got knocked out in 16th place.
