Michalak Closes In On Five Million
Level 27
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
After Christopher Audrain folded on the button, Paul Bianchi raised the small blind to 130,000. John Michalak called.
The flop came down 
, and Bianchi continued for 145,000. Michalak called again.
Bianchi checked the ultimate blank in the form of the 
turn, however, and Michalak took the lead, tossing out 225,000. Bianchi called.
When the 
hit the river, Bianchi quickly checked, and Michalak fired 600,000 just as quickly. Bianchi went deeper into the tank than he had all day, eventually throwing away his hand.
