Checking Things Out
Although his trap failed to work in the following hand, Marchel Masaladzhiu has crested the 100k mark here in Deauville and appears to be at least among the Day 1a leaders.
On an board and facing a 2,100-chip bet, we caught Masaladzhiu raising it up to 4,600. A third player in the hand made the call and after the original bettor folded, the river was revealed.
Masaladzhiu tank-checked, but it wasn't enough to induce a bet from his heads-up opponent, who checked and turned over .
Masaladzhiu held and had rivered a flush to drag the pot and still push over the 100k mark.
