Michael Malm came into the day amongst the chip leaders, and has been involved in many hands since the start of Day 2. Although a few of his starting chips were distributed to some of his fellow table mates, he recently won a flip that put him right back near the head of the pack.

After opening to 25,000 from late position, Michael quickly called off the 3-bet all-in of Alexandre Mongrain from the blinds.

Michael bested his opponent by pairing the flop, sending Alexandre to the rail with a prize of $240. His newly acquired chips propelled him above 500,000, representing a stack north of 50bb midway through level 20.
