Moolhuizen Takes Chip Lead Thanks to the Ducks
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mateusz Moolhuizen opened to 28,000 from the hijack and called when Daniele Degennaro made it 76,000 from the button.
On the A♦J♠2♥ flop, Moolhuizen check-raised to 140,000 over a bet of 61,000. Degennaro three-bet jammed as the bigger stack and Moolhuizen snap-called for his stack of 658,000.
Mateusz Moolhuizen: 2♣2♠
Daniele Degennaro: A♣K♠
Degennaro's top pair-top kicker was behind Moolhuizen's set of deuces. The J♣ turn gave the latter a full house but Degennaro was still live to the final two aces in the deck.
A no-sider appeared on the river, but it was the 3♥ and Moolhuizen became the chip leader.
