Malek Can't Bet Out Rotariu
Nível 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
George Rotariu bet 12,000 from early position on a flop of J♥8♥J♣ and Derk van Luijk called in the small blind. Sebastian Malec then raised to 42,000 in the big blind and only Rotariu called.
The turn was the K♠ and Malec slid forward 124,000. Rotariu again called and the 3♥ fell on the river.
Malec slowed down and checked, and Rotariu quickly checked back. Malec showed 9♣8♠ for two pair, but Rotariu had Q♦J♦ for trips to win the pot.
"Easy life," tablemate Rania Nasreddine told Rotariu after the hand.
"Too bad the river was a heart. I couldn't bet," Rotariu replied.
