Michael Malm had an amazing 2024 and it looks like 2025 is off to a great start as well as he just picked up his first Circuit Ring. He had to come from behind to defeat a bit of an end-boss to do it too as he was facing Thomas Taylor with the chip lead when they got heads-up.
Malm first got a double to the lead when his overpair of kings held over Taylor’s top pair, and then a cooler ended it all when both players flopped three jacks, but Malm had an eight to go along with it for a boat.
Malm won the Alberta Poker Index Player of the Year for 2024 and this will put him on his way to another deep run in the local standings.
