Ma Gets There

Stephen Ma
Stephen Ma

First in from the button, Stephen Ma shoved his last 317,000 into the middle. Next door, Pej Niyati made the quick call, and they were heads-up with Ma's tournament life in jeopardy. He was in trouble, too.

Showdown
Ma: {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts}
Niyati: {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}

The {9-Spades} appeared right in the window for Ma, and the board ended up showing {5-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {9-Spades} {5-Hearts} {10-Spades}. Ma came from behind in a big way, and he's doubled his way right back into this match.

Niyati is left with less than 200,000 after that beat.
