Picone's Hero Call Catches Mallu's Bluff

Gabrielle Barredo

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

During hand-for-hand play during bubble time, Alli Mallu bet 120,000 on a pot of 400,000 with a board of J♦3♦8♥J♠A♥. Igor Picone, his heads-up opponent, went into the tank to consider his options. Finally he made the call.

The moment Picone called, however, Mallu immediately mucked his hand. Picone turned over Q♦7♦ for queen-high.
