Malcolm Scores the Double
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
James Malcolm opened the hand with a raise to 4,000 from early position, which led to a call by Tyler Patterson in the hijack and Victor Paredes on the button.
Joseph Schmidt woke up with a hand in the small blind and raised it to 23,000. Malcolm responded with a jam for 38,500. Patterson and Paredes folded, but Schmidt called to put Malcolm at risk.
James Malcolm: Q♣Q♦
Joseph Schmidt: A♦K♥
It was a classic race between the pair versus the overcards. Malcolm faded any scare cards on the flop when it fanned out 3♠2♣10♦.
The 9♦ turn did not change anything, and the Q♥ river upgraded Malcolm to a set to win the hand and secure the double up.
