David Malka raised to 45,000 under-the-gun and Matt Affleck three-bet to 105,000 on the button. Malka moved all in and Affleck called. There was over 1 million in the middle with Malka a big favorite.

Malka tabled AhKh and had Affleck’s AcJc dominated. The board ran out AsKd6c4hTs and Affleck was drawing dead on the turn to give the pot to Malka.

The dealer breaks down both stacks and verifies that Malka was all in for 523,000, but Affleck only had 510,000. Malka has about half of the chips in play as three-handed play starts and Affleck takes home $29,032 for his efforts.

David Malka – 1,050,000
Matt Affleck – Eliminated
