Malick Wins the Race in 5-Bet Pot to Knockout a Player
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A player from under the gun raised to 2,000, before the player in early position three-bet to 6,000. Then Stone Malick in middle position four-bet to 14,000. After it folded back to the original raiser, he five bet-all in for 43,000. That got the early position player to fold, and Malick made the call.
Under the Gun: A♦K♠ 
Stone Malick: J♠J♥
The under the gun player was at risk and would need improve to stay in the tournament. Once the board ran out 9♦3♦4♣8♣9♣ the pocket jacks were still best, to give Malick the pot and eliminate his opponent.
