Malinov Senses a Four is Coming
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Atanas Malinov moved all in for 90,000 from the cutoff and Mike Watson called from the big blind.
Atanas Malinov: A♥Q♣
Mike Watson: A♠4♦
Malinov was in a dominating position to double up and stood up from his seat to await the flop, which came J♦3♣7♦. The turn, though, was the 4♠ and Malinov flung his arm in the air in frustration as Watson pulled into the lead.
The river was the 9♠ and Watson sent Malinov to the rail.
"He knew it," Niklas Astedt said following the hand.
"I'm never standing there," Alex Kulev added.
"Maybe with the ace-four, I'm like, I'm never getting there. But never with the best hand," Astedt said.
