Damick Up a Stack Early
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
Chris Damick's stack caught our eye as we passed the table. According to Damick "he got very lucky." Damick flopped bottom two pair and against a nut-flush draw and all the chips went in. Damick's opponent even picked up a straight draw on the turn but the river bricked and Damick collected a sizeable pot early on.
