Always Coming Seven for Malboubi in Massive All In
Rassoul Malboubi had a raise to 325,000 in front of him before Mark Kitchens in the big blind shoved for 1,385,000.
Malboubi spent several minutes in the tank as he assembled the chips to call, uncapping his cards to take another look and recapping them before sliding in three towers of chips.
Mark Kitchens: A♠K♦
Rassoul Malboubi: 7♠7♣
"Low cards," Malboubi shouted as the entire table stood up to witness the massive confrontation. The flop came Q♦Q♠6♥ and kept him in front, but the K♠ fell on the turn and Kitchens now began celebrating.
The river, though, spelled disaster for Kitchens as it came 7♥ to give Malboubi a full house and the knockout. A collective "wow" arose from the table as the players couldn't believe that Malboubi had spiked the two-outer.
"It was nice playing with all of you," a good-natured Kitchens told his tablemates as he took the bad beat in stride before heading to collect his payout.
