Mohler Out Runs Fortuno
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Robert Fortuno opened to 25,000 preflop from early position before Denise Mohler chose to respond with a three-bet all-in for 82,000 total. Fortuno made the call to put Mohler at risk as they went to a showdown.
Denise Mohler: 8♠8♣
Robert Fortuno: A♦10♣
The flop got a reaction from the table as it came 10♥8♦A♥ to give Fortuno aces up and Mohler a set of eights.
"Yes," Mohler said as she leaped up from her seat. "Beat two pair!"
Mohler wasn't out of the woods yet, as the turn and river could still bring a drastic change in the standings, as Fortuno was still live to an ace or a ten for a higher full house.
The 7♠ turn was safe for Mohler, and she would officially celebrate on the Q♥ river to secure the double agsint Fortuno.
