Malpelli Survives After Open-Jam Goes Wrong
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Jose Malpelli was in the cutoff and promptly moved in his stack of 1,515,000 for an all-in raise. It folded to big blind Samuel Ju, who snap-called with a covering stack.
Jose Malpelli: A♦6♦
Samuel Ju: A♠K♥
Malpelli was heavily dominated and had just three outs in the deck after the J♣4♣8♥Q♦ flop and turn. The river fell a miraculous 6♥, however, and Malpelli could not help but smile as he found a big double-up.
