More Than 3 Millions for Molenaar

Maxime Taldir

Level 13 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jon Vallinas Santos opened to 80,000 from the button, then Michel Molenaar in the small blind three-bet to 140,000. The big blind folded, and after some time, Vallinas Santos called.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠A♣9♥, and Molenaar bet 60,000. This bet was very small, but it was enough to make Vallinas Santo fold.

Thanks to this pot, Molennar reached 3,000,000 chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michel Molenaar	3,150,000 450,000	450,000

Jon Vallinas Santos	450,000 440,000	440,000

Ihar Soika opened to 80,000 from the button, then called when Ioannis Droushiotis shoved for 135,000.

Ioannis Droushiotis: 5♥5♦ All in
Ihar Soika: 10♦7♦

The board of A♥Q♠J♠9♣J♥ didn't change anything so Droushiotis doubled up.

Nitsche Sent to the Rail

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board of 8♣8♥8♠Q♣5♦ with more than 300,000 in the pot, Dominik Nitsche on the button bet 1,550,000, almost all his stack. From the big blind, David Miscikowski jammed with a bigger stack and Nitsche snap-folded.

With a single blue chip worth 5,000 left, Nitsche moved all-in on the very next hand. Nikitin in the small blind limped, so Miscikowski only had to check his option to discover a flop of 6♦3♠Q♣.

Nikitin bet 30,000 and was called, so he fired a second barrel of 150,000 on the 3♦ turn. This time, Miscikowski folded.

Dominik Nitsche: J♣9♣ All in
Anatoly Nikitin: Q♦7♦

"I have nothing" Nitsche said while standing up, and he was eliminated after the 3♥ river.

Player	Chips	Progress
David Miscikowski	4,900,000 4,900,000	4,900,000

Anatoly Nikitin	1,250,000 670,000	670,000

Big Double Up for Navarro Arrocha

Maxime Taldir

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Boris Kolev opened to 50,000 from middle position and was called by Roman Emelyanov in the hijack. Mario Navarro Arrocha three-bet to 185,000, and he was only called by Emelyanov.

Navarro Arrocha continued for 40,000 on the 7♥4♥4♠ flop and was called, then he checked the 7♠ turn. Emelyanov bet 55,000, and Navarro Arrocha check-raised all-in for 360,000. Roman Emelyanov counted his stack and eventually called.

Mario Navarro Arrocha: K♠K♦ All in
Roman Emelyanov: A♠Q♠

Navarro Arrocha was in the lead with kings, but Emelyanov still had a flush draw. The 10♥ river didn't change anything, so Navarro Arrocha doubled up.
