Mike Malm opened to 3,500, and Kip Howard made the call.
The flop came K♥Q♠J♣, and Malm moved all in for 6,700. Howard snap called and both players revealed their holdings.
Mike Malm: A♥A♦
Kip Howard: A♠10♥
The turn gave Malm life as it came the Q♥. Malm asked the dealer if she could “show him another queen.” As if by design, the river was the Q♦, giving Malm a full house and the pot. Everyone joked that Malm’s quick thinking saved him as the queen had two live outs compared to the ace for the chop.
Kip Howard: 57,300
Mike Malm: 24,700
