While other players were dropping out, at least three in the early hands of the day to get the field to ten tables, Clyde Maliauka found a way to stick around.

He was all in early for 69,000 from the cutoff and Joseph Skarzynski looked him up from the button.

Maliauka: KsTs
Skarzynski: As4c

Maliauka had two live cards to double up and paired both of them on the KdTd5s flop. The board finished with the 8h turn and Ad river and Maliauka caught an early double.

Clyde Maliauka – 134,000 (27 bb)
Joseph Skarzynski – 142,000 (28 bb)
