Michalak Knocks Bianchi Down a Peg

Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Paul BIanchi opened to 55,000 from the button, and John Michalak defended his big blind.

Michalak checked the {k-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop over to Bianchi, who continued for 75,000. Michalak called.

The {k-Spades} turn paired the board, and Michalak check-called 165,000.

After the {a-Diamonds} fell on the river, Bianchi fired 340,000 when checked to, and Michalak quickly called. Bianchi showed {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} for a rivered two pair, but Michalak's {k-Clubs}{8-Spades} turned trips for the win.
