Malinov in the Mix
Level 34
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Marco Gambini got involved for the first time today, opening K?10? from the button to 600,000. Chip leader Atanas Malinov called with 6?4? from the button.
Both players paired up on the A?10?4? flop, and Malinov check-called for 500,000. Gambini continued his aggression on the 9? turn, firing out 650,000 which folded out Malinov.
The following hand, Malinov looked down at A?10? from the small blind and made it 1,050,000. Virgile Turchic defended his big blind with K?9?.
The Q?8?7? flop saw Malinov check, and Turchi bet 700,000. Malinov called. The Q? turn paired the board and action checked through to the 2? river. Malinov had the best hand and checked. Turchi checked back and Malinov recouped some of his chips that went to Gambini.
