Tiffany Michelle Brings a Kicker to the Party

Action folded around to Cristian Dragomir in the small blind and he completed. Tiffany Michelle checked her big blind option and it was heads up to the flop.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Dragomir led out for 125,000. Michelle made what she called "a friendly call." The turn came the {A-Diamonds} and Dragomir fired again, this time for 175,000. Michelle made the call and the {K-Clubs} hit the river.

Dragomir slowed down and checked. Michelle bet 500,000 and Dragomir went into the tank. The two began an inaudible verbal exchange, the culmination of which had Dragomir loudly shouting, "I'm not folding!" as he pushed out the call.

Michelle looked as though she was beat and she turned over just the {8-Hearts}. Dragomir asked, "With what?" and Michelle exposed the {Q-Clubs}. Dragomir looked disgusted as he mucked {8-Clubs}{10-Spades} face-up. Michelle's kicker played and she took down the pot.

She is up to about 7,400,000 while Dragomir slips to roughly 2,300,000 in chips.
