Bayer Puts Maloku In The Tank

[Removed:428] opened the action to 4,500 from the cutoff and it folded to Mathias Bayer in the big blind who three-bet to 15,500, which Maloku called.

The flop fanned out Q♥J♠5♥ and Bayer continued for 7,500. Maloku took a moment before tossing in chips for the call and the pair saw the 6♥ turn.

Bayer pondered for a few seconds before moving all in for 41,500 and Maloku went deep in the tank. After close to three minutes of deliberation, Maloku reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Bayer.

"You have ace-king with the ace of hearts?" asked Maloku

Bayer rolled over the A♥ while collecting his chips and Maloku was left to wonder if his read was correct.
