More to Hit the Rail

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Molenaar Pulls the first $100,000

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Michel Molenaar
Michel Molenaar

Michel Molenaar rushed up to claim a bounty and looked at the screen to see what he would get. A tablemate hoped he would pull the minimum $5,000 prize, but instead Molenaar was fortunate enough to hit one of the five $100,000 bounties.

Molenaar is currently sitting with an above-average stack of 600,000 and will have plenty more opportunities to chase additional bounties.

Kuether Scoops

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alexis Cruz Martinez limped in under the gun, and Michael Wilklow did the same from the cutoff. Aaron Steele then shoved from the small blind, Joseph Kuether reshoved his big, and Cruz Martinez also wagered all of his chips. Wilklow thought for a while before folding.

Aaron Steele: 98 All in
Joseph Kuether: A8 All in
Alexis Cruz Martinez: 86

Kuether was comfortably in the lead and dominating both opponents, but Cruz Martinez didn't lose hope, asking the dealer to "flush them out." He came close, but the 52104K runout gave him, nothing more than a sweat, as Kuether picked up Steele's bounty.

Karmatckii Doubles Through McCully

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Joshua Mccully
Joshua Mccully

Arsenii Karmatckii jammed the button for 265,000 and Joshua McCully made the call from the small blind for the majority of his stack.

Arsenii Karmatckii: A5 All in
Joshua McCully: A4

McCully called for a chop, but he found a favorable flop of Q43 to take the lead with a pair.

The 4 on the turn meant only a deuce on the river would save Karmatckii. The miracle 2 completed the board, and Karmatckii doubled up, leaving McCully with around 100,000.

Zolotow Rivers a Wheel to Crack Rezaei's Cowboys

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Steve Zolotow jammed for 125,000 from middle position and Daniel Rezaei moved in over the top from the hijack with a stack that covered the table. After everyone else folded, the players flipped their cards.

Steve Zolotow: AK All in
Daniel Rezaei: KK

Zolotow had a monster in the form of big slick, but Rezaei was sitting behind with an even bigger monster in pocket kings.

Zolotow found no help on the 549 flop, but he picked up a straight draw when the 3 joined on the turn.

Zolotow hit the wheel he needed to double up when the 2 came on the river, keeping him alive in the tournament.
