[user358178]

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was already a large pile of 5k chips in the middle and Wiktor Malinowski later confirmed that the pot was three-bet to 110,000 by himself on the small blind after Ami Barer opened the button.

When flopped, Malinowski continued small, setting 40,000 over the line. Barer called and the dealer placed a on the turn. The action went check-check and the last card out was the . Malinowski changed gears at this point, moving all in for 408,000. Barer, with no time bank cards left to use, didn't have long to decide and after 20 seconds or so, he put a few chips in to signify the call.

With such a big bet, Malinowski was making either a huge bluff or a huge value bet and Barer decided it was the former, turning over queen-ten for second pair. Instead Malinowski flipped over and for a turned set and is up with the big boys, sitting third in chips after that hand.
