After three hours facing off against each other, the comeback is complete.

Pete Malkoun finished off Kazu Oshima pulling out the victory in Event 8.  On the final hand, Malkoun flipped up AdJs against Oshima’s KsQs leaving Oshima behind for his tournament life.

No help came on an 8s5d2d flop and then Malkoun got the card he wanted as the Ac peeled off leaving Oshima drawing dead and giving the title to Malkoun.

While he’s had bigger cashes, this is Pete Malkoun’s first live victory in a major series and he leaves tonight with $29,750 and the title.  Kazu Oshima finished 2nd taking home $17,000.

Congratulations to our Event 8 Champion – Pete Malkoun!
