Malinowski Surging With Big Hands

Wiktor Malinowski
Wiktor Malinowski

Level 14: 2,250/4,500/550

A few hands ago, Wiktor Malinowski picked up a pair of aces to send "sibel chan" to the rail who held sixes. Now, the Polish cash gamer got it in again, this time holding {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} of "ULMFKR".

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for Malinowski to river the nut flush and crest half a mill in the process.

Fan to the Top

A hidden straight for Fan
A hidden straight for Fan

The current chip leader in the tournament is Taiwan's Chin Wei "FanChihWei" Fan, who's the only player sitting over 800k in stack on 2/3rds of the day. One of Fan's key hand to climb the leaderboard was with {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, when he sneakily hit the river on Georgios Sotiropoulos on a seemingly safe looking {q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades} board.

Sotiropoulos, holding {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}, bet 43,024 on the river and called off about 75k or so more when Fan check-raised the river all in. The Greek subsequently rebought himself back into the event.
