Michel Molenaar Eliminated in 7th Place ($46,619)

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Michel Molenaar
Michel Molenaar

Action folded around to Harlan Karnofsky, who limped from the small blind. Michel Molenaar checked the big blind, and the players saw the 4QK flop.

Karnofsky bet 200,000, and Molenaar made the call, and the pair were taken to the 2 turn. Karnofsky bet 550,000, and Molenaar raised to 1,300,000. It didn't take long for Karnofsky to top up and pay to see the 6 river.

Karnofsky moved down his glasses to check the card furthest away from him on the board, then checked. Molenaar jammed and was snapped off by the chip leader, Karnofsky.

Michel Molenaar: Kx2x
Harlan Karnofsky: A9

Karnofsky turned over his spades, having rivered the flush, and Molenaar flashed his king-deuce for two pair, before slamming his hand into the muck.

After Molenaar walked away from the table, one of the players at the table remarked, "Did you check to see if the six was a club or spade?"

Karnofsky replied, "Yeah." He continued to say, "I am on fire, on a heater."

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

There's been little post-flop action after the restart, with a majority of pots being decided preflop.

Michel Molenaar jammed over a David Rees open and took it down. Thai Dinh did the same after Molenaar raised, which also won him the pot.

Dinh Picks Up Small

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Thai Dinh opened to 325,000 from under the gun and saw two calls, one from David Rees in the hijack and the second from Daniel Hill in the big blind.

The 46J flop was bet by Dinh for 300,000, which was enough for him to scoop the pot as he saw both his opponents make two quick folds.

It took some time, but the $1 million mystery bounty eventually surfaced.

Just under six hours after Day 2 of the inaugural Mini Mystery Millions got underway at the 2026 World Series of Poker, one fortunate player peeled back the tournament's most wanted prize.

It took 43 players drawing from the Gold Chest, which contained any bounty prize worth $25,000 or more, before the $1,000,000 bounty was pulled.

Dinh Back in Contention

Michel Molenaar opened to 250,000 from under the gun but folded when Daniel Hill three-bet it 675,000 from the next seat over.

Two hands later, Molenaar made it 250,000 from the button, and conceded the pot when Hill raised to 900,000 from the small blind.
