Cimbolas Loses All in Two Hands

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Matas Cimbolas
Matas Cimbolas

Matas Cimbolas was sitting in the tank from under the gun as Thomas Muehloecker was all-in from the middle position for 58,900 in total with the blinds and ante in the middle as they had folded. Cimbolas used two or three time bank cards before making the call with the slightly bigger stack.

Thomas Muehloecker: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Matas Cimbolas: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {3-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} to keep Muehloecker ahead. The turn was the {j-Hearts} for Cimbolas to pick up some extra outs as he held the nut flush and royal flush draws but the river completed the board with the {5-Diamonds} instead for Muehloecker to double up and leave Cimbolas behind with a mere 300.

With Cimbolas forced all-in in the next hand, he was up against Daniel Rezaei on his right.

Matas Cimbolas: {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Daniel Rezaei: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades} for Rezaei to hold with the higher kicker to deal the final blow to Cimbolas.
