Malpelli Trending Down Again
Level 31
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
David Djian limped in from the small blind, and Jose Malpelli checked his option in the big blind. The J♥7♠9♣ flop saw Djian bet 175,000, which Malpelli called at lightning speed.
Djian then checked the 6♦ turn over to Malpelli, who quickly tossed in 175,000 himself. Djian spent some time in the tank before adding calling chips to the pot, after which the Q♦ river completed the board.
The two remaining French players checked it to showdown. Djian revealed Q♣6♥ for two pair, having rivered the winner as Malpelli held J♣5♥ for a pair of jacks.
