Malec on the Right End of a Cooler
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Diogo Coelho raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Sebastian Malec three-bet to 175,000 out of the small blind. Coelho opted to four-bet to 575,000, and after a few moments, Malec five-bet to 1,300,000 with just 20,000 behind. Coelho jammed and Malec snap-called.
Sebastian Malec : A?A? 
Diogo Coelho : K?K?
It was a brutal cooler that Malec was on the right end of. The dealer fanned out the flop of A?K?9? to give both players a set. Coelho couldn't find the last king in the deck as the rest of the board ran out 4?9?, and he had to send the majority of his stack over to Malec.
