Qui Nguyen from the cutoff, Michel Molenaar on the button, and Nenad Dukic in the big blind all got their chips into the middle preflop.
Qui Nguyen: A♦Q♥
Nenad Dukic: A♠Q♣
Michel Molenaar: 6♣6♦
Molenaar was in a great spot to eliminate two players and take over as the chip leader as they approach the business end of this tournament.
A flop of 8♣K♥10♥ kept Molenaar in the lead but a J♥ on the turn gave both of his opponents a straight which left him drawing dead. Nguyen had a freeroll with his heart draw but the 4♠ river meant he split the pot with Dukic.
