Molenaar Thrives in His Post-Bubble Era

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Michel Molenaar
Michel Molenaar

Michel Molenaar was spotted on the bubble with less than 100,000 chips, but on a revisit to his table he was found with more than quadruple that amount.

His latest winning came from a three-way pot with Daniel Turner and Cole Maguire. Turner had opened the action from middle position with a raise to 12,000 and both Molenaar and Maguire called, from the button and small blind respectively.

The flop of {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} got checked through before Molenaar was the first one to bet on the {5-Clubs} turn. 20,000 was the amount to call and only Turner obliged.

On the {6-Hearts} river Turner checked for the third time this hand. Molenaar fired for slightly less than the pot and put 65,000 chips in the middle. Turner quickly called and Molenaar showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for top pair. Evidently, that was enough to rake in the pot, as Turner gave his cards to the dealer face-down.
