Molinod Doubles With Pocket jacks
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Mathias Muehlebach checked first with the board showing 8♠2♠6♦2♥, and Guillaume Molinod jammed for his final 22,100 from late position. Muehlebach called and the players went to a showdown.
Guillaume Molinod: J♦J♣ 
Mathias Muehlebach: 9♦8♦
Molinod's overpair was ahead right now, and Muehlebach needed to find an eight on the river to send Molinod home.
Muehlebach had done it earlier in the day, by rivering a two-outer to bust someone, but lightning doesn't strike twice as the A♦ hit the river, and Molinod survived.
