Molenaar Playing Day 1a
Michel Molenaar has become a familiar face on the poker scene in Northern Cyprus, steadily building a reputation as a consistent performer. With numerous cashes to his name, he has made deep runs in some of the biggest events held here.
His two most impressive scores include a third-place finish in the $25,000 No Limit Hold'em (Event #35) at EPT Cyprus, earning $174,100, and a fourth-place result in the $10,400 MPP High Roller (Event #12) at the EAPT Grand Final/Mediterranean Poker Party, adding $122,000 to his growing résumé.
Molenaar just played a hand where he opened the hijack to 1,200 and got a call from Cristinel Dumitru in the cutoff, the button, and Azamat Rakaev in the big blind.
All four checked the 8?10?A? flop to the 7? turn, where Molenaar bet 1,000. Dumitru and the button called and the 6? landed on the river. After Molenaar checked, Dumitru fired 8,000, which was enough to win the pot as both his opponents folded.
