Hollander Wary of Malboubi

David Salituro

Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jinhua Li raised to 110,000 from early position and was called by Josef Hollander in the cutoff and big blind Rassoul Malboubi.

The flop came 8♠8♣K♥ and action checked to Hollander who tossed out a bet of 200,000. Malboubi called while Li got out of the way.

Both players checked the 7♦ turn before Malboubi led out for another 200,000 on the 6♣ river. Hollander quickly called.

Malboubi showed K♦J♣, but Hollander had him out-kicked with K♠Q♦ to take the pot.

"That eight scared me," Hollander said.
