Malinov Hits the River to Double off Zubov
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 7♥6♠3♣, Alexander Zubov bet 10,000 from the cutoff and Atanas Malinov raised to 25,000 in the small blind. Zubov then moved all in and Malinov called for his last 50,000.
Atanas Malinov: 6♣5♣ 
Alexander Zubov: 8♣8♥
Malinov had a pair and straight draw but needed to improve against Zubov's pair of eights. The 7♠ turn was no help, but Malinov spiked his straight on the 4♦ river to double up.
"Sick cooler," Zubov said.
