Malinov Senses a Four is Coming

Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Atanas Malinov moved all in for 90,000 from the cutoff and Mike Watson called from the big blind.
Atanas Malinov: A?Q?
Mike Watson: A?4?
Malinov was in a dominating position to double up and stood up from his seat to await the flop, which came J?3?7?. The turn, though, was the 4? and Malinov flung his arm in the air in frustration as Watson pulled into the lead.
The river was the 9? and Watson sent Malinov to the rail.
"He knew it," Niklas Astedt said following the hand.
"I'm never standing there," Alex Kulev added.
"Maybe with the ace-four, I'm like, I'm never getting there. But never with the best hand," Astedt said.
