PokerListings Championship Day 1c
Level 8: 3,000/6,000
Entries: 73/124
Late registration for the PokerListings Championship is about to close for the entire event with Level 8 winding down. Shortly after the break, we will know how many players will advance into tomorrow's Day 2 from the Day 1c field.
Unfortunately, Ninni Malmi won't be one of those players. She re-entered about 30 minutes ago and lost a good portion of the stack before the following hand dusted off the rest of her chips.
Malmi open-jammed for 49,000 from under the gun and was called by Yuzhou Yin from middle position and by John Kitchen from the big blind.
Kitchen jammed the K 6 4 flop. Yin asked for a count and called after it was confirmed to be for 81,000.
"That was an amazing flop," Kitchen said before the cards were turned over.
"Six-four?" asked a player at the table.
"No, even better," replied Kitchen.
Ninni Malmi: A 10
John Kitchen: 5 3
Yuzhou Yin: A J
Kitchen was correct about the flop as it not only gave him a flush draw but also an open-ended straight draw. The 7 turn completed his draw and he had both his opponents drawing dead. A blank K river completed the board and Kitchen more than doubled his stack while also eliminating Malmi. Meanwhile, Yin is still sitting on a monster stack despite coming up short in this hand.
Yuzhou Yin - 950,000
John Kitchen - 320,000
Ninni Malmi - 0
