Swingy Game

David Miscikowski started the day in the top five in counts. Early on he crested 800,000 to take over the chip lead. More recently he fell all the way back down to about 500,000. But he's back up to more than 850,000 after a huge pot against Blake Buffington and Vanessa Rousso.

Rousso opened the action pre-flop with a raise to 12,000. Buffington called from middle position efore Miscikowski re-raised to 29,000. Rousso called before Buffington called a second time.

The flop was all small cards, {2-Clubs}

. Action checked to Miscikowski. He splashed 57,500 chips into the pot, inducing a quick fold from Rousso. Buffington asked how much the bet was before calling.

Both players checked the {10-Spades}

turn. At the river {4-Clubs}

, Buffington checked again. Miscikowski made a huge bet, 182,500 in total, almost the full size of the pot. Buffington deliberated 30 seconds before calling. He angrily flipped his cards into the muck and took a very long swig off a bottle of water when Miscikowski showed {A-Clubs}

for the nut flush.

Despite that hit, Buffington still has 350,000. Miscikowski is back up to about 850,000.
