Malik Curry (Everton, MA)

After Doug Lyford double up right after the dinner break, Malik Curry (Everton, MA) was the shortest stack at this Final Table and after the action folded to him, he'd move all-in for just over 350,000 from the button.

He'd get Marsel Backa to fold in the small blind, but after a few moments of thought Raj Patel would call in the big blind. 

Malik would be live, but behind, holding [8h][Qh] to Patel's [As][3h]. 

Malik would then need a miracle to stay alive after the [3d][Ad][6h] flop that put Patel in the driver's seat. 

He'd get one of two running cards, as the [6h] gave him outs to the flush. 

The table kind of expected it to come after the previous craziness we've seen on the river, but the [9c] would put those thoughts to rest and put an end to Malik's Event 1 run. 

He'd make just over $6,000 for his efforts and we're sure we are going to see more of him over the rest of the CCPT series.
