Molenaar Picks Up a Small One Before Losing a Big One
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Michel Molenaar raised to 210,000 from the cutoff and was called by Justin Arnwine from the button. Molenaar fired out 310,000 on the K♣Q♠8♦ flop and was called. The Dutchman sized up to 1,350,000 on the 2♦ turn, and Arnwine snap-folded.
On the next deal, David Rees opened to 200,000 from the button, and Molenaar defended his big blind.
On the A♠6♦5♠ flop, Molenaar check-raised to 850,000 over Rees' continuation-bet of 300,000. Rees was quick to call.
Molenaar bet 800,000 on the 4♦ turn, but was sent into the tank after Rees jammed for 3,965,000. After several moments of thinking time, Molenaar called as the bigger stack.
David Rees: 8♥7♥
Michel Molenaar: AxQx
Rees turned the straight to leave Molenaar drawing dead ahead of the Q♣ river.
