Cohen and Gorelik Out; Georgopoulos Stops Molenaar's Run
A massive pot was brewing over on table 59 right before it broke when Massou Cohen eventually called all-in against the large bet of Michel Molenaar on a board reading K♥Q♣2♦6♠10♥. Molenaar revealed his Q♠Q♦ for a set of queens and Cohen exposed his K♣10♠ for two pair.
One more hand was to be played on the table and the open raise of Albert Gorelik in the cutoff was called by Ioannis Georgopoulos as well as Molenaar in the blinds.
On the 8♠7♣5♠ flop, it checked to Gorelik who bet 4,000. Georgopoulos check-raised to 16,000 and Molenaar reraised to 80,000 which covered both opponents. Gorelik called all-in and so did Georgopoulos.
Albert Gorelik: A♥6♣
Ioannis Georgopoulos: 5♣5♥
Michel Molenaar: 9♦8♣
The 10♠ turn was a sweat for the Dutchman but the K♥ river ensured the double-up of Georgopoulos for 47,700, while Gorelik was eliminated.
As everyone gathered their chips and belongings to find new tables, Molenaar joked "I run so bad ... also cracked Fintan's aces with ace-king suited".
