Bjerno Drops Chips, Malka Picks Them Up
Bjerno started the day as the chip leader, but now he's back to the middle of the pack after doubling up David Malka.
Preflop, Malka raised to 55,000. Chen called in the cutoff, and Bjerno made it 155,000 from the button. Action folded back to Malka who attempted to put in a raise, but didn't put in enough chips. He made it 215,000, when the raise needed to be at least 255,000. Since it was more than half, it stood as a raise and he put in the extra 40,000. Bjerno then moved all in, and Malka snap called.
Bjerno: 
Malka: 
The board ran out 
and that was enough to give Malka the pot. Malka was all in for 796,000 more and doubled to just about 1,700,000 chips while Bjerno dropped under 1 million.
