Royal Flush and the Last Woman in the Field is Chip Leading!
The action folded to Joel Malo in middle position who moved all in for his last 75,000. It then folded to Khaly Dang in late position who asked for a count and flicked in a call.
The cards hit their backs.
Joel Malo: K♠10♠ 
Khaly Dang: 10♦10♣
Malo jokingly complained about his misfortune of running into a good hand but his mood would change a bit on the 2♦A♠3♠ flop that gave him the nut flush draw. "I got a good sweat!" he said as the dealer burned and turned the J♠ giving him the flush. The fun would not be over as the river came the Q♠ giving him the royal flush!
Malo scooped the pot but it was Dang, the last woman left in Day 1a, who is still the overwhelming chip leader after playing a great bubble strategy that helped her acquire a pile of chips and some ammo to keep the pressure on as the end of the day draws near...
