Cazacu Relieved With Ladies
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Mengshi Tian opened the action from middle position with a raise to 5,000. Michel Molenaar called in the hijack before Adrian Cazacu three-bet to 22,000 in the cutoff.
John Duthie called cold in the big blind, folding out Tian. Molenaar put in a call as well, however, and the trio saw a flop of K♣J♣2♣. It checked to Cazacu, who continued for 25,000.
Both Duthie and Molenaar made quick folds, after which Cazacu let out a sigh of relief as he tabled Q♠Q♥.
Tian, meanwhile, claimed to have folded king-jack preflop. "You don't fold when you run like this," Cazacu advised the chipleader of the tournament.
