Malka Sticks Around

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

David Malka opened the action with a raise to 4,500 in middle position. On his left was Jamie Armstrong, who three-bet to 14,000, which was called by Malka.

The flop was an all-flushing {5-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Spades} and when Malka checked, Armstrong bet 12,000. Malka called and the turn came {5-Clubs}, which paired the board and again Malka checked. Armstrong bet 27,000 this time and Malka wasn't going anywhere just yet and made the call.

The last card out was the {7-Diamonds}. After a lot of tanking on both sides, it went check-check and Malka turned over {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for two pair. It was good enough, with Armstrong mucking his hand.
