McCleaning Up
The pot was opened to 525 by Ben McLean from middle position and when the action was on Artur Prokhorov he anounced raise, throwing in one 500 denomination chip. The ruling from the dealer was that it had to be a min-raise and when the play folded back around to McLean he made the call.
Flop: 
McLean led for 1,100 on the flop and Prokhorov made the call.
The turn was the 
and McLean threw in another 1,300. With a call from Prokhorov the river would fall the 
. This time McLean made it 4,000 and Prokhorov thought for quite some time before deciding to let his hand go.
McLean took down the pot to sit with a healthy chip stack, while the big stack that Prokhorov accumulated earlier is now looking a lot smaller.
