Malebranche Benefits From Misclick
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
A player on the button opened to 75,000 after they accidently mistook the black T-25,000 chips for blue T-5000 ones. The small blind got out of the way while Joe Malebranche in the big blind called off for his tournament life.
Joe Malebranche: 
Button Player: 
Malebranche was ahead with big slick but would need to fade his opponent's two live cards. There was no lead change on the 
runout, handing Malebranche a full double courtesy of his opponent's misclick.
