Marcin Mucha Crashes Out in 5th Place (€9,230)

YUK. Nasty cooler alert! If you're easily upset, look away now.

Marcin Mucha opened to 55,000 and faced a reraise to 125,000 from Milan Zaric. Mucha tanked, and then he called.

Mucha check-called 150,000 from Zaric on the Qh 6c Ah flop, and then checked again on the Tc turn. Zaric bet 260,000 this time, and Mucha check-raised again, this time all in.

There followed some lengthy tanking from Zaric, eyeing up Mucha and his stack alternately. Eventually he called

He was behind.

Mucha: Kc Qc for a pair of queens

Zaric: Kh Ts for a pair of tens

River: Td

In Zaric's words: "BOOM! SICK!"

Mucha, a real gentleman by the looks of it, remained absolutely impassive as the stacks were counted. He was covered, and with a smile and a handshake, he had to settle for fifth place. Zaric is now up to around 1.9 million.
