Molitor Loses Out to Juen's Wheel

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Joseph Molitor
Joseph Molitor

Alban Juen raised to 600 on the button, and Joseph Molitor three-bet to 3,000 from the small blind. Juen called.

The flop came down 5A3, and Molitor fired a continuation-bet of 1,800. Juen raised to 7,500, and Molitor came along with a call.

Molitor checked the 2 turn, and Juen fired again, this time for 16,000. Molitor called once more.

Molitor checked for a final time when the board-pairing 5 completed the runout, and after a few moments, Juen bet 20,000. Molitor went deep into the tank, knowing that if he called and was wrong, he would be left with around a fifth of the starting stack. In the end, he settled on a call.

Juen tabled 44 for a wheel, and Molitor was forced to muck, leaving himself with just 13,000 in chips.
