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 952 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 92, and his flopped two pair was good the whole way as he left Malki on a short stack.
