Mallak Fills Up to Double Off Sternod
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
A player in the hijack bet 10,000 on a board of 8♥5♥A♦A♥ before Tom Sternod moved all in from the button. Ilyass Mallak called for 26,000 in middle position, while the hijack got out of the way.
"I need the six of hearts," Sternod said as he turned over 9♥7♥ for a flush, but Mallak showed A♠8♦ for a full house. The river was the 3♣ and Mallak held on to earn the double up.
"With my luck, he would've hit the six of hearts," Mallak said.
