It’s been quite a head-to-head battle so far. Stefan Maloney and Leo Zhang made a deal to chop the money down the middle when they got heads up, leaving $200 and the trophy on the table to play for. If anyone thought that might loosen the play, they’d have been mistaken.
They’ve been at it for almost an hour now, through a full level of PLO and most of two levels of NLH. They are now down to just over 10 big blinds average, and the stacks are even again after Zhang shoved the shorty, and Maloney called it. Maloney was dominating with queen-ten into queen-three, but Zhang found two pair on the flop of Q♥3♣K♣4♦A♦ and held to get it even again.
