Mikkelsen Gets Revenge; Doubles Up

Michael Pesek has been coming over the top of Dag Martin Mikkelsen's pre-flop raises all day, but this time, Mikkelsen showed some resistance and saw a flop:

{K-Diamonds}

Mikkelsen passed the first action to Pesek who opened with a 10,000 bet, to which Mikkelsen repsonded by re-raising all in.

"I'm pretty sure I have you," said Pesek, while he considered a call. "What do you have, K-10 or something?"

"Eh, I call," Pesek said, turning over {Q-Diamonds}

. Mikkelsen tabled the {J-Clubs}

for an open-ended straight draw.

The {J-Spades}

further improved Pesek's hand, giving him two pair, but the {A-Diamonds}

on the river was bad news for him, as it gave Mikkelsen the nut straight. After the hand, Mikkelsen reclaimed his spot atop the leaderboard with 138,000 in chips while Pesek dropped to about 88,000.
