Muehloecker and Alt Eliminated

Level 13 : 7,000/14,000, 1,750 ante

Thomas "WushuTM" Muehloecker got his stack in preflop with the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and was looked up by Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson on the button with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and that spelled the end for Muehloecker.

He was joined on the rail by Dinesh "NastyMinder" Alt who three-bet jammed the button with the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi called from under the gun with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and got there on the {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} runout.

Martirosian then bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 218,680 and Higgins jammed for 838,331 only to get snap-called.

Simon "simon1471" Higgins: {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
