Malott Wins a Monster

Action folded to Kenny Malott on the button who open shoved for 206,000. Kenny Nguyen went into the tank before finally making the call.

Action then moved to Steven Rubinfeld in the big blind, who also thought long and hard about his hand before open folding pocket queens.

Malott: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Nguyen: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts} hit both players, but the {J-Diamonds} on the turn left Malott drawing to an ace or jack. A meaningless {8-Spades} hit the river, and Nguyen was down to just 4,000 while Malott increased his stack to nearly 430,000.
