Cooler Hand Doesn't Result in Expected Outcome
Level 24
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Mateusz Moolhuizen, who won his seat into this tournament in the very last satellite, opened for 55,000 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 120,000 from Valentin Messina, who was to his direct left. Sam Chartier then four-bet jammed for 358,000 from the hijack. Moolhuizen looked him up and Messina got out of the way.
Moolhuizen: 
Chartier: 
It was a cooler of a hand, but Chartier was on the good end. The tables were turned though as the 
flop delivered Moolhuizen a set, though Chartier at least picked up a flush draw.
The 
turn was no help to Chartier, and neither was the 
river. With that, Chartier bowed out in 26th place while Moolhuizen chipped up to 1.2 million.
