Malinov's Ace is Good

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri opened to 2,500 first to act and was called by Atanas Malinov in the big blind.

Malinov check-called a 2,000 bet from Mokri on the Q♠6♥7♣ flop and a 13,000 bet from Mokri on the A♣ turn.

Malinov checked on the Q♦ river after using up his entire 30 seconds and Mokri said, "Alright, whatever," and checked behind.

Malinov tabled A♥8♥ for a turned pair of aces and Mokri sent his hand into the muck.
