Tsui Gets the Better of Big Stack Maliuta
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Mykola Maliuta opened to 2,400 from under the gun. Justin Tsui raised to 6,500 in early position and was called by the Ukrainian.
The 2?9?A? flop was checked by Maliuta, who then called a bet of 4,000, as Tsui continued his aggression.
Maliuta checked once more as the 5? landed on the turn. This time, Tsui made it 11,000, which saw him get a fold from his opponent. The Englishman chipped up to well above average stack, while Maliuta still sat on a big stack of 125,000.
