On a flop of Td9s6c, David Malka checked from the big blind and Faraz Jaka bet 28,000 from middle position. Malka check-raised to 93,000 and Jaka clicked it back to 155,000.

Malka took a few moments and moved all in for 332,000. Jaka snap-called. Jaka showed 9d6s, good for bottom two pair and was in the lead against Malka’s QsJs.

Malka needs an eight or a king to fill his straight draw and he got there as the Ah peeled off on the turn and the 8c came on the river to give Malka the nut straight and take a chunk out of Jaka’s stack.

David Malka – 740,000
Faraz Jaka – 230,000
