Michalak Among the Early Seat Open

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jakub Michalak
Jakub Michalak

Jakub Michalak won the €10,300 Single-Day High Roller last night after cutting a three-way deal, and the former ISPT Wembley champion and top five ranked online player in Poland was just standing outside of the tournament area.

A quick chat revealed that he had busted. According to Michalak, he opened to 2,500 from the hijack with the {J-Spades}{9-Spades} and Guillaume Valle three-bet to 6,500 out of the small blind. Michalak called and the flop came {K-Spades}{10-}{6-} rainbow.

Valle bet 7,000 and Michalak called before the {8-Spades} on the turn gave him an open-ended straight draw and flush draw. Valle bet 14,000 and again Michalak called.

On the {9-Clubs} river, Valle checked and Michalak shoved for pot-size. Valle looked him up with {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a straight and Michalak was gone, he could still laugh about it though. "At least I won last night," he added with a grin on the face.

Also eliminated: Russell Thomas, IPT High Roller champion [Removed:551] and Peter Eichhardt.
