No 3-Time Champ

Webjoker

Level 12 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

There are only two players in the world who have two Unibet Open titles; Dan Murariu and Mateusz Moolhuizen. Murariu didn't play this tournament, he was busy in Barcelona, but Moolhuizen did come over to give it a try.

He started out the shortest of all players but a series of double ups had him catapult his stack to 170,000. The roller coaster continued a downward trend after that, though, as he lost half of his stack in a hand where he himself proclaimed to have made a mistake in.

Left with 80,000, he just made his exit on the live streamed feature table. We weren't there when it happened but one of his friends in the field told us Moolhuizen had gotten it in with against a pair of either nines or tens. Moolhuizen flopped an ace but his opponent made a flush to send the 2-time champ packing.
