Things have not gone well for Wiktor Malinowski of late and he had dropped to 128,000 until he managed to more than double in back-to-back pots. First he opened for all in blind versus blind against Malikeh Razavi and met with no opposition to take him up to 140,000.

Next, he called on the button after an early position open from Jean-René Fontaine and Melika Razavi made it a three-handed pot after calling in the small blind. The flop came and Fontaine c-bet 27,000 and both players called him.

Fontaine gave up on the and Razavi check-called Malinowski's 40,000 bet. There was no further action on the turn and Malinowski won the pot with the better kicker.
