Kanaan Keeps Climbing

Michael Kanaan won the ANZPT Sydney event back in 2011, and he's in great shape to add a ACOP Macau title to that list. Even though that's still far away Kanaan has amassed a big stack putting him currently in second place.

Just now we witnessed Kanaan pick up a nice one after check-raising the flop. The flop read when Kanaan checked to a player who fired out 15,300. The player on the button called and Kanaan check-raised to 37,000. Both his opponents folded and Kanaan raked in the pot.

On the very next hand Kanaan raised to 4,000 and the big blind called. The flop brought and Kanaan's opponent check-called 5,000. On the turn the hit and Kanaan picked up the pot with a 11,000-chip bet.
