Mike Malm Wins Last Chance over Benny Sarnelli

Level:22 (15000/25000/25000)
Entries:1/104
Prizes:$39,520
Local Time:2:40 AM

Mike Malm went on a run once the final table got short-handed, and ended up taking down his second event of the series. He won the $560 NLH earlier in the series, then tonight, in the Last Chance, he ran roughshod over the final five at the table.

After Benny Sarnelli, who won the Player of the Series race with his sixth cash of the series tonight, sent Colten Yamagishi to the rail for 6th, it was all Malm. He sent home the rest of the players, and had a massive lead going into heads-up with Sarnelli.

In the final hand, Malm shoved the button, and Sarnelli called off his fumes. He was live with 8♠6♠ against K♣6♣, and when neither player connected with the board, Malm’s king-high took it down.
