Rainer Quel Eliminated in 3rd Place

Rainer Quel- 3rd Place
Rainer Quel- 3rd Place
Rainer Quel was crippled on this stud hand vs. Paul Taylor:

Quel ({K-Hearts}{K-Spades}) {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts} ({6-Diamonds})
Taylor ({2-Spades}{5-Clubs}) {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{Q-Spades} ({6-Clubs})

Though Quel bet the entire way, Taylor rivered a six-high straight on his two pair and Quel was crippled to only 5,000.

But as he's demonstrated before, all Quel needs is a chip and a chair.

Quel was all in on third street vs. Taylor on the next hand. This time his pair of tens was good enough to win the pot and take him up to 17,000 in chips.

Then, after anteing himself down to only 4,000 in chips, he hit trip sevens on sixth street in a three-way pot. and was back up to 12,000.

Quel finally met his end when he went all in for 10,000 on third street and Paul Taylor called.

Quel ({A-Clubs}{8-Spades}) {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{6-Hearts} ({2-Clubs})
Taylor ({10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}) {3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades} ({10-Hearts})

Quel's pair of sixes were bested by Taylor's pair of tens and he was eliminated in 3rd place, earning $9,450 after a hard-fought battle.
