Molitor Finds a Five to Double Up
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alex Kim opened to 6,500 from the cutoff and was called by Brandon Mincher on the button. Then the small blind Joseph Molitor three-bet all in for 50,000. Kim folded and Mincher quickly called to put Molitor at risk.
Joseph Molitor: A♣5♣ 
Brandon Mincher: A♠Q♠
Molitor was dominated by the bigger ace of Mincher, but once the board ran out 9♣3♥5♥10♠2♥ Molitor had the best hand with a pair of fives, to secure the double up.
