Malinov Calls with Queen High
Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Atanas Malinov limped in from the button with Q♦4♦ and called when Virgile Turchi raised to 2,200,000 with 6♥5♥.
Turchi check-called for 1,500,000 on the 8♠7♥7♣. The 5♠ turn gave him the best hand with sevens and fives. He check-called once more, this time for 3,200,000.
With 14,400,000 in the pot, the 8♣ completed the board, giving Malinov the winner as Turchi's pair had been counterfeited. Turchi led out for 1,300,000 and Malinov quickly called with his queen-high to take the pot.
