Action folded around to Michael Malm in the small blind and he moved all in to put the pressure on David Cowling in the big blind. The latter looked down at 
and quickly called off for 395,000. Malm then showed 
and was looking to dodge big cards.
The 
flop was no help to Cowling, but the 
turn did provide him with some counterfeit options. Unfortunately for him, the 
river was not what he needed and he watched his stack pushed over to Malm before making his way to the payout desk.

Eddy Sabat is competing on Day 4 of the 2013 PCA Main Event. He talks to Kristy on a break about playing with Michael Phelps on Day 2 and being responsible for his fate.
Darren Elias has had a rough time here on Day 4, but he just got a boost when he doubled through Michael Malm.
We picked up the action with around 160,000 in the pot on a board reading 
after Malm had checked and Elias bet 66,000. Malm responded by moving all in and Elias couldn't call off his stack of 308,000 fast enough.
Elias:
Malm:
Malm's face said it all when he saw Elias held the nuts. The former needed an eight on the river just to chop, but it wasn't in the cards as the blanked. With that, Elias is back in the game.
