Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Players were already heads-up on a 4♣3♠2♦ flop with Scot Malseed in the small blind and Kanaan Youkhana in middle position.
The pot stood at around 12,000 and Malseed had already moved all in for his remaining 28,700 chips. Youkhana made the call and the players flipped their hands.
Scot Malseed: K♠K♣
Kanaan Youkhana: A♠Q♥
Malseed was ahead with Kings, but Youkhana had some outs having flopped a straight draw.
The 7♠ was turned and Malseed stayed ahead. The dealer peeled the 9♦ river and Malseed secured the double up.
Malseed took an early tumble during Level 1 of the main event, but has now spun his stack back up to over a starting stack.
