James & the Giant Stack

"Yeah, you know it, baby"
"Yeah, you know it, baby"
James Mitchell is wearing a grin the width of the equator, predominantly due to his newly acquired stack.

Most of that ascent was due to a well-timed bluff. Picking up {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} in the blind, Mitchell three-bet an initial raise of 900 to 2,800, which was subsequently called. On the {J-Diamonds}{9-?}{3-?} flop, Mitchell led for 3,600, his opponent made it 8,000, and Mitchell jammed.

"He thought for a while, but eventually folded," reported a relieved Mitchell.
