Matthias Habernig Eliminated in 6th Place ($49,400)

Matthias Habernig - 6th Place
Matthias Habernig - 6th Place

Action folded to Matthias Habernig in the small blind and he moved all-in for around 400,000. The chip leader, Martin Sansour, was in the big blind and snap-called the raise.

Sansour: {A-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Habernig: {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

Habernig was behind and needed help; however, the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{A-Clubs} flop gave Sansour two pair and Habernig was even further behind. In fact, he would need to catch runner-runner cards to stay alive. The dealer burned and turned the {9-Hearts}, which gave Habernig a flush draw. The crowd was clearly excited about the sweat and the young Austrian even let a smile creep across his face.

The entire tournament area waited anxiously for the river. If Habernig could not hit a heart (that wasn't an ace) then his attempt at equaling Jose "Nacho" Barbero's feat of winning back-to-back LAPT titles would come to an end. Unfortunately for Habernig, the river was the {2-Spades} and he was sent home in sixth place. Nonetheless, his back-to-back final tables is clearly among the best accomplishments in LAPT history.
