Josh Hale raises under the gun to 210,000, Ali Eslami calls from the button, and Raouf Malek thinks for a while before moving all in from the big blind for about 2.4 million.
Hale thinks for about 30 seconds before he folds, and Eslami asks for an exact count of Malek’s stack. Eslami tanks for more than three minutes before he calls with [KdQs], but he’s dominated by Malek’s [AhKs].
The board comes [Jh4c2h7h2c], and Malek wins the pot with his ace to double up in chips and cripple Ali Eslami.
