Dempsey Takes Out Malm

Dan O'Hair

Limit Hold'em

On a flop reading {K-Clubs} {10-Spades} {6-Diamonds} , Michael Malm led out against his lone opponent, James Dempsey, from the big blind. Dempsey thought it over and made the call from the button.

"What are you looking for?" Malm asked.

"I'm not sure," Dempsey replied, to which the rest of the table laughed.

The turn brought a {10-Clubs} and Malm bet his last 9,700. Dempsey called and hands were revealed.

Malm: {4-} {4-}
Dempsey: {A-Spades} {7-Spades}

Malm was in good shape to double up, however, a {6-Spades} fell on the river, counterfeiting Malm's pocket fours and eliminating him from the tournament.
