Molloy Needs Another Ten

John Monnette opened the pot with a raise to 10,500 from early position. Action came around to Denise Molloy, and she moved all in for a total of 57,000. Monnette instantly called with {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}, and Molloy's {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds} figured to be her last hand of the day.

The flop tripped up both players, coming {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} to leave Molloy dead to one out. "Oh wow," she said, shaking her head. "I need another ten." The turn came the blank {3-Clubs} as the ESPN cameras closed in on the table. "Ten of clubs," pleaded Molloy. And wouldn't you know it, the {10-Clubs} struck the river like a thunderbolt, drawing a big celebration from Molloy. She paced around the table yelling, "Oh my god! Quads! I had one out!" With that miracle one-outer, Molloy doubles her way up to 120,000, now just slipping ahead of Monnette.
