Michnik Picks Up One

Limit

Timothy Finne raised from the button, and Michael Michnik three-bet from the small blind. Finne called.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Michnik bet (40,000) and Finne called. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}, and Michnik bet again (80,000). Finne again called.

The river was the {J-Diamonds} and both checked. Michnik showed {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and won the pot.

With stakes this high, a lot is changing on each hand. Michnik moves up to 732,000 on that one, passing Finne who falls to 670,000. Meanwhile, both Gavin Smith and Danny Hannawa sit in the 1.15 million range.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}. Smith bet this time, and Hannawa looked over at his opponent while contemplating what to do. Smith sat quietly beneath his hat, looking down at the board. Finally Hannawa called.

The river was the {4-Spades}, and Hannawa again called Smith's bet. Smith showed {A-Hearts}{8-Spades} for the straight, and Hannawa mucked.

"Winning never gets old, does it?" yelled Layne Flack from the stands. "Yeah, but sometimes it gets hard to remember," cracked Smith.

Smith smiled for a moment more, then turned serious again, his attention already turned to the next hand.
