Double Down as Ellis Picks Off Malki
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
In a limped blind battle, Yaron Malki check-called a bet from Richard Ellis on the 9♦5♥2♣ flop.
On the K♠ turn, Ellis sized up to 1,400 before Malki check-raised to 5,000, and Ellis called after some deliberation.
The Q♠ landed on the river as Malki led for 8,800, and Ellis quickly called. Malki shrugged as he conceded the pot to Ellis who tabled 9♥2♠, and his flopped two pair was good the whole way as he left Malki on a short stack.
