Level 15
: 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
PokerNews was told that Anthony Malarae was down to around 4,000 chips on this very level and here he was again shoving his hand putting his tournament life at risk.
After an opening raise from Daniel Casetta in hijack to 10,000, Malarae shoved all-in from the big blind for around 80,000. Casetta made the call with a chance to finally eliminate Malarae.
Anthony Malarae: 9♠9♥
Daniel Casetta: A♦10♥
It was a coin flip and all Casetta needed was one of his over cards to hit the board to finally make Malarae hit the rails. The board ran K♦3♣5♦6♥5♣ with Malarae once again fading any ace or ten on the board.
Surprised, the table couldn't stop talking about how Malarae's luck was running. Hopefully, it continues all the way until the end.
