MacKinnon:

"Good fold," someone said to the big blind.

Malec Sits Down; Drags A Big One

Yori Epskamp

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

EPT13 Barcelona winner Sebastian Malec has joined in his quest to repeat his performance last year when he conquered a 1,785-strong field. Malec cashed an astonishing €1,122,800 and instantly became a recognizable face on the circuit.

The Pole found himself in a substantial pot right away against Bart Kuiper. Kuiper, who was seated under the gun, bet a little over 10,000 on a board, a substantial bet in relation to the pot. Malec spent nearly four minutes thinking, using his fingers to count the combo's, before flicking in a single chip to call.
