Micon Gives Some Back

Bryan Micon has started the day on a tear, quickly doubling his stack inside of ninety minutes. He's not immune to losing a hand, however. On fifth street, Micon was involved in a three-way pot with Carol Kline and another opponent. The boards were:

Micon: x-x / {A-Hearts}

Kline: x-x / {3-Clubs}

Opponent: x-x / {9-Diamonds}

Action checked to Kline, who bet. Both other players called. On sixth street, Kline caught the {3-Hearts}

for an open pair of threes; Micon caught the {10-Diamonds}

and the third player caught the {A-Diamonds}

. Kline led the betting; both opponents called.

Kline and Micon both checked the river to the third player, who bet. Kline called; Micon folded. Kline scooped the whole pot by revealing {A-Clubs}

in the hole for a high hand of two pair, eights and threes, and a low hand of 8-5. Her opponent mucked.

After the hand, Micon slipped below 6,000 chips, while Kline climbed to about 3,500.
