Mayer Eliminates Mavritsakis
Level 19
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action was already underway with 1,000,000 in the pot when Panagiotis Mavritsakis bet 490,000, prompting Thomas Mayer to respond with an all-in. Mavritsakis deliberated for a considerable time before ultimately deciding to make the call.
The board revealed K♠A♠3♣8♣ as Mavritsakis revealed his cards, showing A♦10♣, a pair of aces with a ten kicker. Mayer revealed A♥8♥, securing two pair with aces and eights. The 7♦ on the river brought excitement for Mayer, who momentarily jumped from his chair and expressed his joy loudly. After a few seconds, he returned to the table and apologized to Mavritsakis and the other players, saying, "Sorry, sorry about that."
