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."
