Michalak Fires Out Two

Three players were involved in a hand that had reached the river. The board read . The first player to act bet 6,000 into the pot. John Michalak then made a hefty raise to 45,000.

The third player in the hand thought for a while before folding after about 30 seconds. Action was then on the player who had made the initial river bet, as it was a decision for the rest of his chips. He toiled over his decision, alternating between gripping his cards and looking as if he was going to put his stack into the middle.

Eventually he folded and showed the after over a minute. Michalak did not show and added more to his large stack.
