Hand #293 - Michael DeMichele

Razz:

Scotty Nguyen (X-X) {3-?} {K-?} {3-?} {6-?} (X)

Michael DeMichele (X-X) {10-?} {A-?} {Q-?} {J-?} (X)

Erick Lindgren had the bring-in with a {10-?}, Nguyen completed, DeMichele called and Lindgren folded. Fourth and fifth streets brought bets from DeMichele and calls from Nguyen. On sixth DeMichele slowed down and checked, Nguyen bet and DeMichele called. DeMichele checked dark on seventh, and called a bet from Nguyen.

Nguyen showed... two pair. DeMichele's {Q-?} {J-?} {10-?} {5-?} {A-?} was good and he won the pot.

Still Anybody's Game

Although the stack sizes might indicate that DeMichele and Lingren are playing for 2nd place, that's far from the case. Both have had all their chips in the middle on more than one occasion in the last couple of days and have made epic comebacks and with the limits where they are, a good or bad run of cards could be ideal or a disaster for any one of these players.
