Thomas Hueber Eliminated in 2nd Place ($137,624)

Aug 31, 2021

Thomas Hueber opens to 14 million on the button with the Club 9Club 6 and Pedro Cavalieri three-bets to 59.5 million with the Spade 10Club 10, which Hueber calls. The flop brings Spade 9Diamond 6Heart 3 and Cavalieri bets 58.8 million into 120.75 million, which Hueber only calls.

The Club 8 follows on the turn and Cavalieri now checks, Hueber bets 78.655 million and Cavalieri jams with the superior stack to get called.

Hueber needs to avoid a seven, ten or a pair on the board that doesn’t improve his hand. But that’s exactly what comes with the Club 3 river, which ends the tournament.

And just like that, Cavalieri is crowned as the winner while Hueber has to settle for the runner-up spot.
