Hollander Wary of Malboubi
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jinhua Li raised to 110,000 from early position and was called by Josef Hollander in the cutoff and big blind Rassoul Malboubi.
The flop came 8?8?K? and action checked to Hollander who tossed out a bet of 200,000. Malboubi called while Li got out of the way.
Both players checked the 7? turn before Malboubi led out for another 200,000 on the 6? river. Hollander quickly called.
Malboubi showed K?J?, but Hollander had him out-kicked with K?Q? to take the pot.
"That eight scared me," Hollander said.
