Malczan Leaves Shaw Short
Level 35
: Blinds 500,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
William Shaw opened to 3,000,000 from the button with Q♥9♦ and John Malczan called in the small blind with K♥J♦.
On the J♥9♠5♠ flop, Malczan checked to Shaw who bet 2,000,000. Malczan responded with a check-raise to 5,500,000, and Shaw immediately called.
Malczan led for 5,000,000 on the 3♥ turn and Shaw quickly called again.
On the 7♥ river, Malczan opted to check to Shaw who bet 5,000,000 into a pot of 30,000,000, and Malczan called.
Shaw tabled his nine, but it was no good against the top pair of Malczan who regained some momentum
