Malec Sits Down; Drags A Big One

EPT13 Barcelona winner Sebastian Malec has joined in his quest to repeat his performance last year when he conquered a 1,785-strong field. Malec cashed an astonishing €1,122,800 and instantly became a recognizable face on the circuit.

The Pole found himself in a substantial pot right away against Bart Kuiper. Kuiper, who was seated under the gun, bet a little over 10,000 on a {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board, a substantial bet in relation to the pot. Malec spent nearly four minutes thinking, using his fingers to count the combo's, before flicking in a single chip to call.

Kuiper showed {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for busted straight and flush draws, and Malec scooped up the pot with {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.
