Malec Takes Over the Lead
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
The very first hand of the final table provided fireworks and Sebastian Malec shoved into Boris Kuzmanovic on the river to claim the lead.
Kuzmanovic raised to 44,000 from early position and Malec called out of the big blind. Malec check-called a bet of 40,000 on the 
flop and another worth 115,000 on the 
turn. Malec then checked the 
river and Kuzmanovic fired a third barrel for 200,000.
Malec moved all in and Kuzmanovic immediately sighed. He double-checked the cards and ultimately folded while the entire hand took almost 10 minutes.
