Molenaar Doubles Through Buchs
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The hand was picked up with around 100,000 in the pot on a board that read J♦8♥4♣6♦. Michel Molenaar shoved for roughly 100,000 and Niels Buch was in the tank. Buch had around 180,000 in his stack and after thinking for quite some time, made the call to put Molenaar at risk.
Michel Molenaar: K♥J♥ 
Niels Buch: Q♣J♠
Both players had top pair, but it was Molenaars king-kicker that had him in front. He just had to fade a queen on the river to double-up. The K♦ fell on the river and Molenaar won the pot.
