Malinov Claims Another Tournament Life
Level 6
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
The player on the button opened to 1,000, receiving a call from Atanas Malinov, in the big blind.
Malinov checked at the sight of the 2♣9♣9♠ flop. The button placed a continuation bet and Malinov check-raised to 2,500. The button clicked it back to 7,100 and Malinov four-bet jammed for his opponent's effective stack of 20,100. The button called.
Button: A♣6♣
Atanas Malinov: 9♥8♥
Malinov's flopped trips were improved to a full house on the 2♥ turn. The A♥ river changed nothing and the button was sent to the rail.
