Molenaar Spikes an Ace to Bust Peluso Just Before the Money
When it folded to Fabio Peluso on the button he raised to 30,000 with roughly 170,000 behind. Michel Molenaar three-bet to 135,000 from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Peluso shoved for his remaining chips. Molenaar called to put Peluso at risk of elimination.
Fabio Peluso: K♠K♦
Michel Molenaar: A♥4♥
Peluso was in a great spot to double up right on the right bubble, but he had to avoid an ace or some hearts to do so.
The flop of A♠6♦3♣ was devastating for Peluso as Molenaar took a commanding lead with a pair of aces. The 8♥ hit the turn, which meant Peluso needed to find one of the two remaining kings in the deck to stay alive. The river was the 3♠ and Peluso was sent to the rail empty-handed.
