Malvasio Flops a Boat, Cracks Kings
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Kevin Roche opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 500. The hijack and cutoff player both called before John Malvasio three-bet to 2,500 from the small blind. Roche four-bet jammed his 15,200-chip stack into the middle and Malvasio made the call.
Kevin Roche: K♠K♣ 
John Malvasio: Q♥Q♠
Roche got his money in as a big favorite, but that did not last long as the dealer spread a flop of 10♥10♦Q♦ and he was drawing slim. The turn 4♦ and river 2♠ sealed the deal and he was eliminated.
