Stefan Maloney Stages Epic Comeback Over Yogesh Kamble

Stefan Maloney looked like he was down & out in second place after Yogesh Kamble nearly felted him. Maloney lost a virtual flip with queen-nine suited against ace-eight for Kamble, leaving him with just 35k behind.

But the chip & a chair meme actually comes true once in a while. Admittedly, Maloney had more than a single chip, but his stack was barely 1bb when he started his comeback run. A few doubles later, and Maloney was on the big stack.

The final money went in when Maloney flopped top pair against the open-ended draw for Kamble. Two bricks to run out the board left Maloney’s pair of nines best, and he staged the comeback of the series, and probably the year as well.
