...and no, that's not a typo. We here in the PokerNews live reporting booth (all four of us) officially began recognizing the month formerly known as "November" by it's true name, 'Movember,' about three weeks ago.

In any case, over on Table 1, Steven Merrifield is continuing to add to his stack with the recent elimination of short-stack Michael Malone.

Malone opened shoved holding {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

and was called by Merrifield who tabled a pocket pair of kings.

The board then filled out {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

and Merrifield took down the pot with kings full, to move to 213,000 in chips.
