Malboubi Flops the World In Biggest Pot of the Tournament
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Richard Wallace raised to 400,000 from the hijack and was called by Rassoul Malboubi on the button and big blind Ronald Swain.
The flop came 6♥A♦6♠ and Wallace bet another 500,000. Malboubi tanked for several minutes before he called, as did Swain.
All three players checked the 5♠ turn as the 10♠ fell on the river. Wallace now came out with a bet of 1,500,000 as action went on Malboubi.
He again tanked for about a minute before raising to 3,300,000. Swain quickly folded, but Wallace announced a call. Malboubi showed he was never at risk in the hand, turning over 6♣6♦ for flopped quads as he won the massive pot to climb above 10,000,000.
