Mulder Solid in Second

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Teun Mulder
Teun Mulder

Juan Pardo open-raised to 90,000 as first to act and the table folded to Teun Mulder in the big blind, who obliged with a call. Pardo then continuation-bet for 60,000 on the 7QK flop after a check from Mulder, and Mulder called.

Both players then checked on the K turn before Mulder checked the 9 river as well. Pardo responded with a bet of 240,000, which Mulder promptly raised to 800,000. This visibly agonized Pardo, but he ended up making the call.

Mulder showed him J10 for a rivered straight and Pardo threw his cards into the muck. By winning this Pot, Mulder sits in second place on the leaderboard.

Grafton Among Short Stacks

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sam Grafton raised to 100,000 from the hijack and the action folded to Teun Mulder in the big blind, who defended. The flop spelled J7Q and Mulder checked to the preflop aggressor, who bet out 85,000. Mulder then check-raised to 290,000 and Grafton made the call.

The 6 turn fell and Mulder downsized his bet to 280,000. Grafton again made the call before the J river completed the board. Mulder slowed down with a check and Grafton followed suit after taking some time to think things over.

Mulder confidently tabled AQ for two pair and Grafton nodded in acknowledgment that he had indeed the best hand. Grafton's stack dwindled to less than fifteen big blinds while Mulder increased his stack to over two million chips.
