John Malczan, Day 3 Level 30

Action folded to Malczan in the small blind and he raised into John Martin’s big blind. Martin made the call to see a flop of 3♦J♣J♥.

Malczan continued with a bet and was called by Martin.

Turn: 4♠

Both players checked.

River: 5♥

Now the action picked up significantly. Malczan led for 800k. Martin raised to to 2M. Malczan moved all-in having Martin’s stack of 3.92M slightly covered. Martin made the call.

Martin A♣J♦ vs Malczan 6♠2♥

Malczan had found himself way behind on the flop but was given a free card and capitalized by getting full value when he made a straight on the end. He takes the pot of ~10M and moves into 2nd out of 4 remaining.

John Martin is eliminated in 5th place for $18,931.
