Malinov Wins Pot Close to The Money
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Atanas Malinov opened from under the gun to 12,000 and only Philip Joyce made the call in the big blind.
The flop came 
, Joyce checked and Malinov continued for 10,000 which was called. On the 
turn Joyce checked and Malinov went deep in the tank contemplating his option. The table eventually called the clock and Malinov then checked.
On the 
river Joyce checked again and Malinov sat still for roughly a minute before Joyce tossed his cards in the muck to speed up the game and the pot was sent to Malinov.
