Mallor Doubles on the Bubble

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

The player in mid-position raised to 12,000 and Ben Cade three-bet to 40,000 from the button. Ross Mallor was sitting in the big blind with 51,000 and was in the tank trying to figure out what to do. After a while, Mallor shoved. The initial raiser folded and Cade called.

The ESPN TV crew and the rest of the media that is covering the WSOP Main Event swarmed the table. So did a bunch of players who were curious enough to see what was happening. There were also two other tables with all-ins and calls, Jack Effel came over to announce the action.

Ross Mallor: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Ben Cade: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} to give Mallor a pair of kings on the flop and two pair on the turn. A diamond on the river would have split the pot, a ten on the river would mean that Mallor would be eliminated.

The {7-Clubs} on the river meant that Mallor would double up and he high-fived his neighboring player and celebrated loudly.
