HomeJulius Malzanini has just boosted his stack with a big double up against leader Thong Botho. Prior to that, Malzanini has been fairly quiet at the table entering random small pots. He was awarded the first walk of the final table with everyone folding to his big blind.
Two hands after, he raised to 28k on the button and was called by Botho on the big blind. At the flop of 10♣ Q♣ 2♠, Botho checked to Malzanini who bet 28k, Botho check-raised to 67k, and Malzanini quickly shoved. After a count, Botho had to call 172k more. He eventually called.
Malzanini K♠ J♠ open ended straight draw
Botho Q♠ 5♣ top pair
The turn of A♠ gave Malzanini the straight, and with the river of 8♣, he doubled up.
