Scratch That, Malooq Back on Track
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Scratch that, Faizan Malooq is back in the fast lane after he just stacked Darren Jarvis, albeit with a little help from Lady Luck.
With 3,000 chips in the middle on a flop of Q♠J♥10♣, Jarvis had committed his stack of around 16,000 to the pot and Malooq had also moved all-in for around 20,000, which forced the third player in the hand to fold.
Darren Jarvis: 10♦10♥
Faizan Malooq: J♠9♣
Jarvis had flopped middle set, which suddenly didn't look so good on the 8♠ turn as Malooq improved to a straight. A paired board is what Jarvis needed, but he never got his wish as the 7♥ meant he was eliminated, and Malooq got back on track.
