Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Dubuc opened to 24,000 from the cutoff and John Michalak and Rick Block called in the blinds.
The flop rolled out 
and Michalak led out for 30,000. Block moved all in for 146,000 total, forcing Dubuc out of the pot, and Michalak went into the tank. He thought it over for about 90 seconds before deciding to release, and Block showed the 
for nine-high with a gutshot.
"You were ahead," said Michalak, who added that he had a double-gutshot draw and nearly called.
