Malpelli Correctly Finds River Fold

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

After a raise from Jose Malpelli under the gun with AQ and a call from Raul Mestre in the big blind with J6, the action checked through on the 4106 flop.

Mestre then took over the betting lead on the J turn with a bet of 125,000, which Malpelli called.

The A river did see Malpelli improve to top pair, but he correctly executed a disciplined fold when Mestre continued for 450,000.
