Kocab Doubles Through Mulder
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jiri Kocab raised to 80,000 from the cutoff before Teun Mulder pushed all in from the small blind, covering Kocab by just 100,000 chips. Kocab made the call to put his 745,000 stack at risk and the cards were tabled.
Jiri Kocab: A♠Q♠
Teun Mulder: 10♥9♥
Kocab had a lead, and it was extended when he flopped a flush draw on the 3♥8♠5♠ flop. The 2♣ turn did nothing for either player, but the Q♦ river saw Kocab hit top pair to secure his double-up.
Mulder, meanwhile, was left with merely two and a half big blinds.
