Mulders Swings Back Up

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Daan Mulders was one of the early leaders of this tournament but lost a massive pot to drop down all the way back to starting stack. Before the dinner break, he said "I don't think we're gonna make it," with a touted face - followed by a smile.

But, as it turned out, he was wrong. He was very wrong. In fact, Mulders is now back in the winner circle owning a stack likely to be one of the bigger ones in the room.

Right before the last break, he doubled through a player with {A-}{A-} against {A-}{K-}. Right after the break, he took the rest of that player's stack as well as they got it in with {A-}{Q-} and {K-}{Q-}. Mulders' hand proved best at the river still and he stacked chips worth 120,000 while his opponent departed.
