Bartolotta Out, Christensen Leads After Malm Fold

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Cameron Bartolotta open-shoved 201,000 and Michael Malm made the call on the button.

Erik Christensen shipped it in from the big blind for 750,000 total, and after an eternity in the tank, Malm folded, later claiming a big overpair.

Christensen had the biggest overpair and his {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds} held versus Bartolotta's {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} on a no-sweat runout.

It could have been the biggest pot of the tournament had Malm called. Either way, Christensen edged into the lead after it was over.
