Belatik Scoops Monster Pot to Bust Malka
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Around 1,800,000 was in the middle on a board of 9♠6♥7♣A♦, and Anas Belatik checked to his opponent, Shlomi Malka.
Malka immediately went all-in for 640,000, and Belatik called just as quickly.
Shlomi Malka: J♥10♦ 
Anas Belatik: 8♣10♣
Malka had picked an inopportune moment to run a bluff, with his gutshot straight draw running into the made straight of Belatik. The eight Malka required did not arrive on the 4♥ river, and Belatik took down a huge pot.
Mirko Vinelli, Eric Abbas and Carlo Catelani busted shortly afterwards, leaving us with 23 players and the three-table redraw. It has been decided the players will take their dinner break now, rather than at the end of this level.
