Malatynski Takes It Down With Trips
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
With around 1,000,000 in the pot and the board showing 10♦6♣9♦9♥5♣, James Malatynski was first to act and bet 550,000. Shervin Ghassemlou quickly called, but Malatynski turned over 9♣8♣ for trip nines. That was enough to win the pot, as Ghassemlou's cards went into the muck.
