Double Up or Go Home

Zhi Hong Ma is another player refusing to go gently into that good night (much to the disappointment of the rest of the field and all of media row). He raised all in to 40,000 from the small blind after Phil Willcocks opened for 10,000 and Stewart Davidson reraised to 30,000. Only Davidson made the call, tabling {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} against Ma's {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. Kings held on a board of {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Spades}, allowing Ma to double up to about 100,000.

Despite that setback, Davidson still has roughly 250,000.
