Pete Malkoun has shifted the grey 5,000 chips to his side of the table.

After a pre-flop re-raise to 40,000 from Oshima and a call from Malkoun, the flop came out .  Malkoun checked, Oshima bet 40,000 and Malkoun called.

The turn brought the and fireworks.  Malkoun checked again and Oshima bet 70,000.  After some though, Malkoun went all-in and Oshima quickly folded the hand.

With that hand, Malkoun got over the 550,000 chip mark taking a slight lead for the first time in heads-up play and leaving this tournament as anyone’s ball game as we close in on the end of Level 19.
