"Interesting Flop" Not Enough For Malec to Avoid Doubling Vrakas
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Sebastian Malec raised to 2,000 in the hijack before Anastasios Vrakas three-bet to 6,500 on the button. Malec then moved all in and Vrakas called for 18,600.
Anastasios Vrakas: K♦J♠ 
Sebastian Malec: K♣Q♣
Vrakas was dominated as the flop came J♣9♣5♥. "Wow, interesting flop," tablemate Josef Huber said as Vrakas hit top pair, while Malec picked up straight and flush draws.
Malec, though, missed the A♠ turn and 3♦ river and Vrakas doubled up.
