Stoica Stops the Rot
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
With the action folded all the way to Jose Malpelli in the small blind, he raised to 125,000, which Roman Stoica called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 9♦8♦6♣ flop, prompting Malpelli to pick his betting lead up again on the 4♥ turn. He put 130,000 into the middle, which Stoica called.
The 5♣ completed the board, and Malpelli checked. Stoica then assembled a tower of chips and bet 520,000. Malpelli opted to call, but it was bad news as Stoica tabled 9♠7♣, good for a rivered straight. Malpelli mucked his cards and paid the bet.
