Jaime Staples had chipped up considerably since the last break and the bursting of the bubble, but so had Michael Malm. Staples open raised all-in from middle position and when it folded to Malm he looked at his cards –
– and instantly made the call.

– he needed to hold to stay in the tournament.
The flop was not good:
put Malm well in front, and the
had Staples convinced the end had arrived. There was a collective gasp around the table as the
came on the river. Malm shipped 117K over to Staples, who now has a reasonably healthy stack.
There are just 20 players left – there will be a seating redraw at 18 players remaining.
