Mateusz Moolhuizen Unibet Open Malta Winner

Mateusz Moolhuizen is the Unibet Open Malta Winner!

Mateusz Moolhuizen was doing all the raising in the last levels of the final table. He took control of the table and his opponent started to lose out chips to him in a slow but consistent way. Peters limped in way too many hands for his own good, and Mateusz Moolhuizen kept retaliating with shoves and pushes applying pressure and putting his oopponent in tough positions.

When Peters finally got a decent hand (KT) to call Moolhuisen with, he lost against Moolhuizen’s AK who doubled up to about 2.5 million chips compared to Peters’ 1.9 million.

Peters received his final strike in the form of two pairs when Moolhuizen pushed 2.04 million chips holding KT and Peters called with his K6. A King on the flop paired both the players Kings and the turn card did nothing to help any of them. Moolhuizen’s supporters burst with joy when he hit his second pair on the river leaving his opponent to content himself with the 2nd place at the final table.

We lost two more players and are now down to the last three at the Unibet Open Malta 2011! First out was Mikkel Christensen who in the small blind moved all in for 375,000 chips with his T8.  He got instantly called by Mateusz Moolhuizen from the big blind with QQ.  The flop showed JAK58 and Moolhuizen successfully managed to knock out Christensen leaving us with four players at the felt..

Next out was Rodolfo Gaddo in 4th place, when he moved in with his last remaining 550,000 chips whilst in the SB.  He got called by Tobias Peters from the BB.  Gaddo showed K5 against Peter’s AT.  The dealer proceeded to uncover the T89QQ giving the victory to Peters and €32,000 to Gaddo for finishing in 4^th place.
