Audrain Doubles Through Michalak to Take the Chip Lead

Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Christopher Audrain

John Michalak raised to 275,000 from the small blind, and Christopher Audrain called in the big blind.

Michalak checked the {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop to Audrain, who bet 360,000. Michalak check-raised to 975,000, and Audrain three-bet shoved for 2.3 million. Michalak tanked for a minute, then flicked in a chip to call.

Christopher Audrain: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
John Michalak: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Audrain was ahead with top pair, but Michalak had a big draw with a flush draw, a gutshot, and an over card to Audrain's ten. Michalak was a slight favorite to win on the flop, but the {3-Clubs} turn and {q-Spades} river bricked off, leading Audrain to shout and celebrate with his rail as he took over the chip lead.
