Mothes Off to a Good Start
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Pau Sanroma got his chips in with the K♥5♥ but found no help for around ten blinds against the J♦J♠ of Pierre Mothes on a board of Q♣J♥4♣K♣3♠. The latter had started the day among the shorter stacks but since tripled what he began with.
One hand later, Manabu Sato raised to 20,000 and Mothes called on the button. Chi Thanh Duong three-bet to 95,000 in the small blind and forced out both opponents.
