Blinds: 50,000/100,000
For the first time at this final table, Eran Malkin has relinquished the chip lead. It happened after him and Steve Carlson got into a massive showdown preflop, with Malkin holding [Qh][Qd]. However, he was dominated in both pair and in suits by the [Ah][Ad] of Carlson, and while the board did bring one paint card, it was a king, netting Carlson a double up to over four million, making him our new leader.
