Malpelli and Fan Win on Rivers

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Bernhard Binder raised it up to 135,000 on the button. Jose Malpelli called in the big blind and check-called Binder's continuation-bet of 90,000 on the 3♠Q♠K♥ flop.

The 10♥ turn and K♦ river were subsequently checked to showdown, where Malpelli's 9♠9♦ raked in the pot.

A few hands later, Roman Stoica limped in from the small blind, and big blind Longmao Fan checked his option. Stoica checked the 5♠4♦5♥ flop over to Fan, who bet 60,000. Stoica called to the A♠ turn, where both players knuckled the table.

Stoica checked a third time on the J♦ river. Fan reaggressed with a bet of 225,000, and Stoica tossed in a call after some time in the tank. Fan tabled top pair with A♣7♠, taking down the pot when Stoica frusratedly mucked his cards.
