Warren Sends Malatino Home

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Neil Warren pumped it up to 95,000 in early position and was three-bet all in by Griffin Malatino for 392,000 in the cutoff. Warren asked for a count to confirm the amount, thought for a few moments, and then announced a call.

Griffin Malatino: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Neil Warren: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Malatino let out a groan once he saw Warren's hand and his situation did not improve as the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} to give Warren four tens en route to the pot.
