Darus Suharto Makes a Great Laydown

This man can muck top pair, top kicker

Peter Eastgate, Dennis Phillips, Craig Marquis, Ylon Schwartz, and Darus Suharto all limped in. Chino Rheem completed the small blind and Ivan Demidov checked his option. Seven players to the flop.

The flop was {J-Spades} {9-Hearts} {5-Spades}. The action was checked to Phillips, who fired out a 1,000,000 bet. Marquis and Schwartz folded, Suharto put in a raise to 2.5 million, and the action was folded back to Phillips. Phillips reraised to 7,000,000 and the crowd got on their feet.

Suharto got up out of his chair and stared at the board.

"Set?" he wondered aloud as he looked at Phillips, trying to pick up some shred of information.

"Will you show me?" he asked, cringing and shaking his head before open-mucking {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}.

Phillips showed {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} and raked in the pot as Suharto breathed a sigh of relief.

After the hand, Phillips was up to 27,000,000.
