After a relatively slow final table for most of the evening, the ending was lightning. The game went from four to 1 in just a few hands after Mike Malm scored a double knockout of Dave Howat and Colby Niven, for 4th and 3rd, respectively, then sent Viet D packing after just a couple of heads-up hands.
In the opening salvo, Malm called under the gun, Howat potted to 135k, leaving himself just 90k behind, and both Niven and Malm called to the 9♥6♠9♦ flop. Howat shoved for his last 90k under the gun before Niven pumped it up to 200k.
Malm flatted to the 10♥ turn, and the money was in in a flash. Niven potted, Malm repotted to cover Niven, and Niven called it off. Malm turned the boat with A♥10♦9♠6♦ against A♣K♦Q♠Q♣ for Howat, and jack-jack-nine-three for Niven. The 5♣ river was meaningless, and Howat was out in 4th, with Niven out in 3rd.
That left Malm with a huge chip lead heads up with Viet D. Viet managed a double in the opening hand of heads up, but seconds later, it was over. I missed the final action while I was trying to write up the double-knockout, but Malm’s winning hand was A♠J♦9♦8♣. Malm added $1,700 in bounty cash to his $5,495 score.
