All Malinov in Heads-Up
Level 38
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
In a limped pot to the Q♣J♦9♣ flop, Virgile Turchi checked his 5♥4♦. Atanas Malinov had a pair of nines with his 9♦3♥ and checked back.
The 7♣ turn also checked through, which brought in the 4♣ river to give Turchi a no-good pair of fours. After Turchi checked, Malinov bet 800,000 which sent Turchi into the tank. Turchi made the call and Malinov further extended his lead.
It's been all Malinov the last few hands, with Turchi not being able to find any momentum since his consecutive double ups.
