Mallu's Gonna Mallu
We've just been chatting to Tamer Kamel who was in disbelief at what he'd witnessed at his table, hands involving the legendary Alli Mallu.
Mallu is infamous for playing any two cards and playing them like his life depends on them. As you'll see from the following two hands, Mallu is rather unpredictable.
Chi Zhang opened the betting and Mallu three-bet him from the next seat along. Korey Nix was to Mallu's immediate left and he four-bet to 20,000, which folded out Zhang. Mallu then jammed for 200,000 with what turned out to be 
and then lost to the 
of Nix.
A short while later, Toby Robinson raised and Mike Tomney called. Mallu pushed his 35,000 stack into the middle only to see Robinson re-shove and Tomney snap call.
Robinson held 
, Tomney the 
and Mallu 
. Mallu's hand improved to be the best by the river and he's suddenly gone from hero, to zero, and back again in the space of an orbit!
