Ace From Space For Maloney
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded round to Donald Maloney in the cutoff, who open-shoved his remaining 105,000 chips. Samy Boujmala of Team Boujmala had a decision in the big blind, as he asked if Maloney had a "good hand." "You'll see it either way," retorted Maloney. Boujmala ended up calling.
Donald Maloney: A♥9♦ 
Samy Boujmala: K♦6♦
Maloney was behind on the 4♠2♣6♠ flop, but an "Ace from space" shot him into the lead. He held, as the river 8♣ peeled off, and kept his head above the water for the time being.
