Molitor Spikes an Ace to Double Up
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Julian Penza raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and Sarah Wasch in the cutoff made the call. Then Joseph Molitor in the small blind three-bet all in for 80,000. After the big blind folded, Penza tossed his hand into the muck as well, before Wasch called to put Molitor at risk.
Joseph Molitor: A♦Q♥ 
Sarah Wasch: 9♠9♣
Wasch was ahead with her pocket nines, but once the board ran out 7♠3♦3♣A♣8♣ Molitor had the best hand with two pair aces and threes, to secure the double up.
