Manig Loeser Eliminated in 13th Place ($14,290)

Manig Loeser - 13th Place
Manig Loeser - 13th Place

Manig Loeser moved all in for his last 180,000 from the hijack seat. Andreas Krause was in the cutoff seat and took his time as he always does before making the call. Everyone else folded and it was Krause's {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} against the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for Loeser.

The flop was just what Krause needed when it came down {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and spiked him with a set. The turn was the {5-Hearts} and the river the {K-Spades} -- both no help to Loeser. He was eliminated from the tournament in 13th place while Krause jumped to 625,000 in chips.

This finish, which earned him $14,290, comes at a time when Loeser is running pretty hot. He came in 187th this year in the WSOP Main Event for $48,847. Later in the month of July, he won the €1,000 Main Event at the European Masters of Poker II in Bulgaria. His win was good for €49,080. He chopped when three-handed, but went on to win the event and take the most money, besting a field of 260 entrants. Loeser will surely be someone to be on the lookout for in poker tournaments in the near future, especially with the results he's been putting up lately.
