Defending Champion Moolhuizen Busts
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alessandro Adinolfo opened to 2,500 from early position before Charles Whitehouse three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. Reigning FPS Main Event champion Mateusz Moolhuizen was forced all-in from the big blind for crumbs and he would be against two players, as Adinolfo called.
Adinolfo check-called for 6,000 on the K♣Q♠9♦ flop before the 8♠ turn checked through to the K♥ river. Adinolfo chucked out 5,000 and Whitehouse folded.
Adinolfo tabled A♣Q♦ for kings and queens to take the side pot. Moolhuizen, who was blind, first flipped over the 3♦, which was then followed by the 6♥, marking his departure.
