Malec Gives Up on Bluff
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
Sebastian Malec raised to 40,000 in the cutoff. Raffael Brum flat-called in the small blind, and Henok Tekle Mariam defended his big blind.
After two checks, Malec continued for 45,000 on the 4♦Q♥K♣ flop. Brum called, and Tekle Mariam folded A♦6♦. Malec sized up to 230,000 on the K♥ turn. Brum was not convinced yet and called again, seeing the 8♥ river complete the board.
The players decided to check it to showdown. Brum tabled Q♣J♦ for two pair, and Malec tossed J♣10♠ into the muck in response.
