Hanowski Misses Out On The Final 10

Jul 16, '13

For the longest time today Martin Hanowski seemed in full control of the tournament. At one point the German pro had close to 1.6 million in chips, which was more than 5 times the average.

We are now down to just 10 players and Hanowski is not one of them.

The board read 2J556 and Conley checked to Hanowski who bet 127,000. Conley tanked for a bit and proceeded to move all in.

Hanowski had about 400,000 chips left behind and he started analyzing the hand out loud. After a while he called and was devastated when Conley turned over the winner. Conley showed AK and that beat Hanowski’s 95.

“That’s the third time the flush on the river! It’s f***ing unbelievable!”

Hanowski was knocked out in 11th place for $25,109 and Conley is up to 1,770,000 and chip leader of the tournament.
