World chess champion Magnus Carlsen is proving to be a force to be reckoned with on the poker felt and more recently added chips after making a tough river call.
In a heads-up pot between [Removed:428] in the hijack and Carlsen in the cutoff, both players checked on the board of K♦A♠J♥3♠. The 6♣ river completed the board and Maloku fired a bet of 6,500.
Carlsen went deep into the tank for several minutes and sat perfectly still behind a pair of dark sunglasses. Eventually, Carlsen called. Maloku showed Kx9x for a pair of kings, but he was out-kicked by Carlsen's K♠Q♥ for the chess pro to take the pot.
