Malinov Calls with Queen High
Level 37
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Atanas Malinov limped in from the button with Q?4? and called when Virgile Turchi raised to 2,200,000 with 6?5?.
Turchi check-called for 1,500,000 on the 8?7?7?. The 5? turn gave him the best hand with sevens and fives. He check-called once more, this time for 3,200,000.
With 14,400,000 in the pot, the 8? completed the board, giving Malinov the winner as Turchi's pair had been counterfeited. Turchi led out for 1,300,000 and Malinov quickly called with his queen-high to take the pot.
