Moolhuizen Picks Up Jacks to Double

David Salituro

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Silvio Mascia raised to 40,000 under the gun before Mateusz Moolhuizen moved all in on the button.

"One million," Moolhuizen joked with Marco Gambini, who tanked for a moment on the button before folding. The action folded back to Mascia and he called for Moolhuizen's last 110,000.

Mateusz Moolhuizen: J♦J♠ All in
Silvio Mascia: K♥10♥

Moolhuizen was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 9♦6♦6♣. The 5♥ fell on the turn and Gambini let out a loud sigh. The A♥ completed the board and Moolhuizen doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marco Gambini	1,400,000 175,000	175,000
Silvio Mascia	420,000 60,000	60,000

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Alessandro Adinolfo three-bet to 100,000 in the hijack before [Removed:467] four-bet to 250,000 under the gun. Adinolfo called.

The flop came Q♣3♦4♠ and Al Sayegh bet another 250,000. Adinolfo again called.

The turn was the 5♥ and Al Sayegh moved all in for 420,000. Adinolfo tanked for several minutes and the clock was eventually called. He ultimately decided to call to put Al Sayegh at risk.

"You have kings? You win," Al Sayegh said as he turned over A♦K♦. To his amazement, Adinolfo also turned over A♦K♣ as they headed to a chopped pot.

"I played it perfectly. I play aces the same way. Bad call," Al Sayegh said as the two players continued to discuss the hand for several minutes afterward.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pieter De Necker three-bet to 180,000 in the cutoff and Tamas Balogh called in the hijack.

Tamas Balogh: Q♦10♦ All in
Pieter De Necker: J♠J♦

Both players stood up from their seats as more than 1,300,000 was in the pot. Balogh had a pair and straight draw against De Necker's jacks, but he missed the 3♣ turn and 2♦ river and was sent to the rail while De Necker joined the chip leaders.
