"I Play for the Win"
Level 35
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
No deal was made, so the four players returned to their seats and Turlough Mchugh moved all-in from under the gun. Malcolm Franchi, in the big blind with 19,800,000, seemed to face with a big decision. “I play for the win,” he said before slamming in a chip to call.
Malcolm Franchi: A♣K♣
Turlough Mchugh: Q♣9♣
Franchi was on his way to double up again on J♣7♦10♣ and even hit the Q♠ for a straight. The J♠ river completed the board and Franchi secured another double up to be back in the lead.
