Torelli Hits the Nut Flush to Crack Molenaar's Aces
Alec Torelli opened to 1,000 from under the gun. He was called by Mantas Stikelis in the hijack, but Michel Molenaar in the cutoff three-bet to 4,500. Both Torelli and Stikelis called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♦3♠8♠ and Molenaar continued for 5,000. Torelli check-raised to 13,500. He made Stikelis fold, but Molenaar made the call.
Torelli checked the 8♦ turn, then called after Molenaar bet 8,000. He checked again the 6♠ turn and saw Molenaar bet 25,000. Torelli started to count his stack and quickly called, finding himself at risk for 22,300.
Alec Torelli: A♠J♠ 
Michel Molenaar: A♥A♣
"I was lucky" Torelli said after he hit the nut flush on the river. He doubled up, while Molenaar was left with 6 big blinds. He was eliminated a few hands later.
